Artifacts that can distort the appearance of the cervical spinal cord are caused by data truncation during MR image reconstruction. We used a phantom and then correlated anatomic sections with MR images in cadavers and normal volunteers to evaluate the effect of truncation artifacts on the MR appearance of the spinal cord. When truncation artifacts are minimized, the gray matter and major white-matter columns in the cervical cord can be recognized. T2-weighted gradient-echo MR techniques can best differentiate gray from white matter.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
