Rationale And Objectives: To review magnetic resonance safety protocols and supplement them for interventional applications.
Materials And Methods: The American College of Radiology White Papers on MR Safety are summarized. Elements relevant to interventional MR procedures are emphasized.
Background: Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of complex cervical spine disorders may underestimate the magnitude of structural disease because imaging is performed in a nondynamic non-weight-bearing manner. Myelography provides additional information but requires an invasive procedure.
Methods: This was a prospective review of the first 20 upright weight-bearing cervical MRI procedures with patients in the flexed, neutral, and extended positions conducted in an open-configuration MRI unit.
