Abstract
MRI is one of the most comprehensive, non-invasive, safe diagnostic modality for delineation of spinal anatomy and diagnosis of various patterns of injury. In most countries, acute spinal cord injury occurs at an annual rate of 20-40 persons per million causing neural deficit and physical impairment. With the inception of CT and MRI, cervical spine injuries have been extensively studied. This was a prospective study of “Low Tesla MRI in Acute Spinal Injuries” 120 patients were studied of which the most common age group affected was between 21-60 years of age (81%). MRI acts as complementary investigation to define cord and soft tissue injuries, also shows bony injuries as marrow oedema& fractures.
