Abstract
Since its introduction, magnetic resonance imaging has become an indispensable diagnostic tool for the physiatrist evaluating potential spinal cord pathology. Despite ongoing advances in MRI technology and subsequent improved sensitivity, significant pathology can still be missed. In this article, we review the clinical role of contrast enhancement in visualizing many forms of spinal cord pathology.
