Evaluation of disc Prolapses in Cervical Spine using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

MRI examination of cervical inter vertebral disc spine was done for 56 patients in Royal Care International Hospital to evaluate the efficiency of MRI image for detections of inter vertebral disc prolapsed at cervical spine. The aim of this study to assess the inter vertebral disc using MRI.This statistical study was conduct at Royal Care International Hospital from September to December 2016. Closed MRI machine were used. A total of 56 patient (male 30, female 26).with age range (20-76) who refer to MRI department. The result of study revealed that the mean and standard deviation of age, weight and heightwere 51.89-+15.94(years),83.36+-12.787(kg) and 178.16+10.931 (cm) respectively.Analysiswas obtained the researcher found the following: Males are more effect than females Disc prolapse affect the cervical spine in people at the age of 62-75 years old. Common site of disc prolapse at the region of c2, c3, c4, c5, c6. Disc prolapse can be detected with MRI by 99 %.MRI is procedure to choice in evaluation of inter vertebral disc prolapse. but it is not the only factor to determine the inter vertebral disc prolapse etiology , for that proper history and clinical examination are very necessary to determine the type of image needed , and also allow the technologist to focus the effort of examination at the proper disc prolapse level.
