Axial T2 wtd. MRI of the cervical spine at C5-C6 level
C5-C6 DISC
Yellow arrow : Bright T2 wtd . CSF signal surrounds the cervical cord .
Red arrow : Cervical cord.
Blue arrow : Left C6 nerve root exits out of the spinal canal through C5-C6 neural foramina .
White arrow : Vertebral artery .
MRI of the Thoracic Spine : Sagittal T2 wtd. Image
White arrow: Degenerative disc disease at T7-T8 level.
Yellow arrow : Normal thoracic cord is seen surrounded by bright cerebrospinal fluid(C.S.F) signal on T2 wtd. pulse sequence, which is the sequence of choice to evaluate spinal cord pathology.
MRI cervical spine :
Sagittal T2wtd. fat suppressed Image .
C.S.F signal is bright ( yellow arrow ) on T2 wtd. Image ( dark on T1 wtd. Image ).
Cerebro spinal fluid surrounds the spinal cord.
Subcutaneous fat signal is suppressed and appears dark on fat suppressed image( green arrow ) whereas fat signal is bright on T1 wtd. Image .
Red arrow points to cervical cord .
