The Spine and Spinal Cord

  • Chapter
A Short Textbook of Clinical Imaging

Abstract

This chapter is concerned with diagnosis of lesions of the spinal cord and nerve roots, and the skeletal disorders which may involve these structures. It is convenient to classify abnormalities as either extradural or intradural and to further subdivide the latter into extramedullary and intramedullary.
