dc.description.abstractBackground: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the brain and spinal cord (SC) that leads to demyelination and neurodegeneration. The relationship between cervical cord atrophy and disability in MS patients was demonstrated. Methods: The examinations were made with MR-Philips Medical System 1.5 tesla device in sagittal and axial planes with T1-WI and T2-WI. Images were evaluated by two experienced radiologists through the hospital image archive system. Results: In the sagittal plane measurement from the C3 vertebra level, the mean SC measurement of the patients in the MS group was 7.3 ± 0.7 millimeters (mm), while the mean of the control group was 8.3 ± 0.6. In the sagittal plane measurement from the C6 vertebra level, the mean SC measurement of the patients in the MS group was 6.9 ± 0.7 mm, while the mean of the control group was 7.8 ± 0.5. In the measurements made at all levels, SC thicknesses were lower in MS group patients compared to control group patients, and this decrease was statistically significant. Conclusion: In daily practice, cervical spinal cord measurements in MS patients can be easily and quickly performed with conventional MRI in two dimensions.
