Pre-operative spinal cord perfusion quantified by DSC MRI as a predictor of post-operative prognosis in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the potential of preoperative blood supply condition measured by dynamic susceptibility contract (DSC) MRI in prediction of postoperative outcomes for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).

Materials And Method: Thirty-nine patients (Age: 61 ± 7, male: 23, female: 16) with CSM who underwent laminoplasty were enrolled. All patients received DSC MRI before the operation.
