The cervical spine of 21 dogs with clinical signs of cervical stenotic myelopathy was evaluated using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Spin echo T1, T2 and gradient echo T2 weighted images were obtained with a 1.5 Tesla magnet in 12 dogs and a 1.0 Tesla magnet in 9 dogs. Sagittal or parasagittal T1W and T2W images were helpful in determining the presence of spinal cord compression or degenerative disease of the articular processes. Transverse T1W and T2W images were the most useful for the identification of dorsolateral spinal cord compression secondary to soft tissue and ligament hypertrophy, as well as synovial cysts, associated with the articular processes. The MR imaging findings were consistent with the surgical findings in all 14 dogs that underwent surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging provided a safe, non-invasive method of evaluating the cervical spine in dogs suspected of having cervical stenotic myelopathy. Veterinary
对21只出现颈椎管狭窄性脊髓病临床症状的犬的颈椎进行了磁共振（MR）成像评估。12只犬使用1.5特斯拉磁体、9只犬使用1.0特斯拉磁体获得了自旋回波T1、T2以及梯度回波T2加权图像。矢状面或旁矢状面T1加权和T2加权图像有助于确定脊髓受压情况或关节突的退行性疾病。横断面T1加权和T2加权图像对于识别继发于软组织和韧带肥大以及与关节突相关的滑膜囊肿的背外侧脊髓受压最为有用。在接受手术的所有14只犬中，MR成像结果与手术结果一致。磁共振成像为疑似患有颈椎管狭窄性脊髓病的犬提供了一种安全、无创的颈椎评估方法。兽医
