Abstract
In the United States, approximately 11,000 incident cases of spinal cord injury (SCI) occur each year, and the annual prevalence is estimated to be 253,000 persons. Early diagnosis and management of SCI is critical in minimizing complications and the severity of injury. This article reviews the test characteristics and evidence-based indications for imaging modalities of SCI.
