Abstract

Abstract:

At present, the evaluation of spinal cord injury and the verification of therapeutic effect in clinical work mainly rely on clinical subjective evaluation and traditional imaging methods. In recent years, with the development of multimodality imaging technology, clinicians can conduct more detailed imaging examination on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord injury from different angles. This paper reviews the research progress in the application of multimodality imaging in the field of spinal cord injury at home and abroad in recent years.

Key words: Spinal cord injury, Multimodality imaging, MRI, CT, Ultrasonography, Positron-emission tomography
