Fig 2. Box and whisker diagrams showing the range, IQR, and median values of quantitative cord compression for the five most common terms used in radiological reports to describe spinal cord involvement.
Four different measures of compression are shown: MCC, MSCC, SCOR and CR. A greater MCC, MSCC and SCOR or lower CR indicates greater compression (N = 131). Key: IQR = Interquartile range, MCC = Maximum Canal Compromise, MSCC = Maximum Spinal Cord Compression, SCOR = Spinal Cord Occupation Ratio, CR = Compression Ratio.
