Spinal arachnoiditis: MR appearances

  • Conference paper
Proceedings of the XIV Symposium Neuroradiologicum

Summary

A retrospective review of 2012 spinal MRIs was performed to study MR characteristics of spinal arachnoiditis. Confirmation was obtained by myelography. Ga-dolinium-DTPA studies were also obtained in a few cases.
