Degenerative cervical myelopathy: Neuroradiological, neurophysiological and clinical correlations in 27 consecutive cases

Degenerative cervical myelopathy and alterations in functional cerebral connectivity

“… 4 does provide hope that cerebral connectivity can be further studied via a multimodal methodology that can bring together information from a variety of angles-neurophysiology, radiology (both structural and functional MRI), clinical score assessment, machine learning and artificial intelligence-in order to build a more complex understanding of the different stages of myelopathy, before and after treatment. 8 , 9 This may lead to different classifications, prognostication, and indications for targeted intervention.…”

The Use of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring for Cervical Spine Surgery: Indications, Challenges, and Advances

“…Neurologic symptoms due to degenerative spinal disease are recognized as one of the leading causative factors globally and the main risk factor for elderly patients [32]. IONM has been shown to serve as a useful predictor for surgical outcomes with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in these patients, in addition to real-time monitoring during the procedures [33]. Soda et al showed that IONM, in addition to helping with complication avoidance during cervical laminectomy, can also be used as a perioperative predictor for patient outcomes.…”
