New findings from a study on patients with spinal cord injuries has discovered MRI technology could determine whether or not performing surgery would benefit patients. Canadian neuroscientists found trauma induced spinal cord compression on MRIs predict a poorer neurological recovery.
Due to the risks involved, most surgeons will not perform spinal cord injury surgery unless they are fairly certain spinal cord compression will be relieved, but this study’s discovery might remove the factor of uncertainty from the equation. The researchers concluded an MRI should be done whenever feasible in patients with an acute spinal cord injury in order to determine the extent of spinal cord compression.
