Description
Summary:Purpose The purpose of this study was to find out additional indications for multi-positional MRI in cervical degenerative spondylosis (CDS) patients. Material and methods A total of 63 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy that underwent multi-positional MRI and X-ray were included. Muhle’s grade, C2-7 angle, and C7 slope were measured. Patients were assigned to the stenosis group (Group S) when Muhle’s grades were increased by more than two or maximum grade was reached. Other patients were assigned to the maintenance group (Group M). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed. Statistical significance was accepted for  p  values of  15.4 degrees. Level of evidence I Diagnostic: individual cross-sectional studies with the consistently applied reference standard and blinding.
