Abstract
Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice in imaging the craniocervical junction (2,3,5). Therefore there is no need to demonstrate obvious findings, but rather an interest in documenting the sensitivity for small or unsuspected findings. We want to demonstrate the possibilities of MRI for imaging the craniocervical junction and emphasize the value of paramagnetic contrast agents.
