The patient presented here sustained considerable bruising to the head and cervical spine on falling down the stairs in 1999. This resulted in contusion of the myelon and instability between C2 and C3. Paraplegia with total flaccid paresis of the arms and legs occurred immediately after the fall.

The Upright MRI system allows MRI diagnosis of the cervical spine in the upright, natural weight-bearing position. Full functional assessments are also feasible with Upright MRI scans. In addition to the neutral, upright position, the cervical spine can also be imaged in the flexion, extension, lateral tilt and rotation positions. This system can be used […]
Neutral position: retroversion of odontoid peg This 37 year old patient has a history of neck pain, headaches and dizziness. There is retroversion of the odontoid peg and in the neutral position the cervical spine angle measures 0°, with a large range of movement into flexion, and evidence of spinal instability as manifest by anterolisthesis […]
We are all aware that people are getting larger. Often accessing diagnostic imaging can be a challenge for larger patients as MRI scanners, for example, have a limit to the weight and size of person that can be accommodated. This patient was unable to be scanned in a conventional tunnel scanner due to their size. […]
