The authors generalize experience in the examination of 245 patients with suspected disease of the spinal cord by means of the Acutscan magnetic resonance tomograph (Instrumentarium firm, Finland) with ultralow intensity of the magnetic field. The application of the new method in neuroradiologic diagnosis--magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) possessing certain advantages over computed tomography and myelography enables the authors to make the correct topical diagnosis in most cases and visualize the inner structure of the tumor and its relation with the structures of the spinal canal. Tumors of the spinal cord were detected in 102 patients: intramedullary in 24, extramedullary-intradural in 31, extradural in 13, and craniospinal in 34 patients. It was established from analysis of the results that MRT possesses high informativeness in cases of intradural tumors of the spinal cord.
作者总结了使用芬兰Instrumentarium公司生产的超低磁场强度的Acutscan磁共振断层扫描仪对245例疑似脊髓疾病患者进行检查的经验。新方法——磁共振断层扫描（MRT）在神经放射学诊断中的应用，相较于计算机断层扫描和脊髓造影具有某些优势，使作者能够在大多数情况下做出正确的局部诊断，并可视化肿瘤的内部结构及其与椎管结构的关系。在102例患者中检测到脊髓肿瘤：髓内肿瘤24例，髓外硬膜内肿瘤31例，硬膜外肿瘤13例，颅脊髓肿瘤34例。通过对结果的分析确定，MRT在脊髓硬膜内肿瘤的病例中具有很高的信息量。
