Abstract

MRI is unparallel investigation for imaging of spine in patients of trauma. MRI has superior soft tissue contrast and multiplanar imaging capability without moving the patient. MRI is routinely used in evaluation in patients who have focal neurological deficit but have normal X ray and CT scan findings. The major causes of spinal injuries include fall from height, road traffic accidents, animal injuries, water sport injuries, medicolegal injuries and falls due to slipping. The goals of imaging include detection of osseous injuries, coed compression, cord injuries, disc injuries, ligamentous injuries, vascular injuries, to aid in surgical planning and determining the potential for instability.
