Figure 1. — Lesion characteristics derived from standard MRI sequences. A Mid-sagittal T1-weighted MR image with the a-p diameters of the spinal canal at injury site (D_i) and at nearest normal levels above (D_a) and below (D_b) the lesion, including the equation for MCC. B Mid-sagittal T2-weighted MR image with the a-p diameters of spinal cord at maximum injury site (d_i) and at nearest normal levels above (d_a) and below (d_b) the lesion, including the equation for MSCC. C IMLL measured on a mid-sagittal T2-weighted MR image as the rostrocaudal length of the T2w hyperintense lesion. D Mid-sagittal T2-weighted MR image with a T2w hyperintense lesion for the determination of ventral and dorsal tissue bridges as indicated. Modified from Freund et al. [29]
