AB  - MRI is one of the most comprehensive,
non-invasive, safe diagnostic modality for delineation of
spinal anatomy and diagnosis of various patterns of
injury. In most countries, acute spinal cord injury occurs
at an annual rate of 20-40 persons per million causing
neural deficit and physical impairment. With the inception
of CT and MRI, cervical spine injuries have been
extensively studied. This was a prospective study of “Low
Tesla MRI in Acute Spinal Injuries” 120 patients were
studied of which the most common age group affected
was between 21-60 years of age (81%). MRI acts as
complementary investigation to define cord and soft tissue
injuries, also shows bony injuries as marrow oedema&
fractures.
