OBJECTIVE
Vertebral column variation is a common, often overlooked finding on traditional spine MRI. Standard localizers do not image the entire neuroaxis, masking variation. The purpose of this study was to use a subminute automated spine survey iterative scan technique (ASSIST) to evaluate 207 patients undergoing thoracic spine MRI.
CONCLUSION
We found variation in 7.7%, with 69% of these cases going unreported. To enhance patient care and decrease medicolegal implications, we recommend ASSIST be performed on all thoracic and lumbar examinations, with variations documented.
目的
脊柱变异是传统脊柱 MRI 上常见但常被忽视的一种表现。标准局部定位器无法对整个神经轴成像，从而掩盖了变异。本研究旨在使用亚分钟自动脊柱扫描迭代技术（ASSIST）评估 207 例接受胸椎 MRI 检查的患者。
结论
我们发现 7.7%的患者存在脊柱变异，其中 69%的病例未被报告。为了提高患者的护理水平并减少医疗法律纠纷，我们建议对所有胸腰椎检查都进行 ASSIST 检查，并记录变异情况。
