Risk Prediction for Development of Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury without Spinal Instability

Conclusion Because the C2–C3 level is relatively wide compared with the subaxial cervical spine, a small ratio at C2–C3 provided the greatest positive predictive value in SCI. Complete SCI is associated with a small SCDdisk-to-Dintervertebral disk ratio at C4–C5 and with extensive high signal intensity on MRI.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text
