Summary
Paraxial slices in MRI of the spinal cord reveal information about anatomical structures and pathological processes not available from orthogonal plane images or other diagnostic methods. They also yield a profit in diminishing the artifacts that occur from heart movement and respiration when triggering is not employed.
