Severe scoliosis of the spine with clinically neurological compromise. (a) Conventional images are difficult to interpret; shown here is the sagittal T2 weighted sequence. (b) The curved sagittal reformat of the sampling perfection with application-optimised contrasts using different flip angle evolutions (SPACE) sequence demonstrates cord compression due to degenerative disease. The ability to reformat in any plane makes the SPACE sequence ideal for any cases with challenging anatomy.
