Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
Healthy controls and patients with non-myelopathic cervical spinal cord compression (NMDC)
You may qualify if:
- Subject with no contraindication to MR examination. Clinically asymptomatic cervical spinal cord compression or subjects with no spinal cord compression.
You may not qualify if:
- A subject will be excluded if he/she has a contraindication to MR scanning implanted metal clips or wires of the type which may concentrate radiofrequency fields or cause tissue damage from twisting in a magnetic field.
- Pregnancy
- Claustrophobia
