Preface
MRI of the Spine is a book concept that arose from a spine imaging instructional course at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The course has been the only dedicated radiology-based course at the AAOS meeting over the past decade, with radiology faculty and organizers. This unique arrangement reflects a need in the orthopaedic community, education on MR imaging, which has become an essential component of the diagnostic algorithm. Spine imaging incorporates degeneration, trauma, inflammatory conditions and infection, metabolic conditions, as well as dural and cord lesions, including neoplasia. An understanding of the MR imaging appearances of these conditions will assist the orthopaedist in understanding the nature and extent of the patient’s condition. Following surgery and alteration of anatomy, MR imaging can be especially challenging to interpret. This is explored, with expected post-operative appearances and findings suggesting recurrent or new pathology. An understanding of methods
