Evaluation of spinal cord compression.
The spinal cord compression ratio (R) is used to evaluate the magnitude of cord compression. DC2: AP diameter of the spinal cord in the C2 midvertebral body level (mm). D: AP diameter of the spinal cord in the intervertebral disc level (mm) (C2/3-C7/T1). AP: Anteroposterior.
Fig 2.
The LR has a minimum value of 0.308 and a maximum value of 1.11. The 1st tertile is 0.71622, and the 2nd tertile is 0.78082.
