โฆ Synopsis
To ensure adequate use of the technique of computed myelography (CM) it is necessary to have an exact picture of the morphology of the normal spinal cord as demonstrated by this technique. This has been obtained by studying the morphology and measuring the frontal and sagittal diameter of the cervical cord in 20 patients. The normal values are presented. The changes of this morphology in one patient with a tumour, one patient with atrophy of the spinal cord and in some patients with congenital malformations are also reported.

## Abstract ## Purpose: To examine functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the rat cervical spinal cord using painful stimulation. ## Materials and Methods: fMRI of the rat cervical spinal cord was performed at 9.4 T. Stimuli included injection of 25ฮผL of capsaicin (128 ฮผg/mL in 7.5% dim
The spinal cord is not consistently shown by plain computed tomography or with iodide enhancement. Xenon enhancement increases the attenuation of the spinal cord and visualization is improved considerably; fluid-filled cavities, including syringohydromyelia, do not enhance and are clearly defined.
