Better Recovery for Spinal Cord Injuries

Patients with spinal cord injuries could benefit from early magnetic resonance imaging, according to the findings of a new study.
 
Canadian neuroscientists discovered that MRI technology could determine if performing surgery would benefit patients. They found trauma-induced spinal cord compression on MRIs predict a poorer neurological recovery.
 
Surgery can relieve spinal cord compression. However, unless surgeons are fairly certain the procedure will benefit the patient, they are generally reluctant to operate because of the risks. Researchers say this study should remove that uncertainty.
