  2. Syringobulbia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringobulbia

    The central canal of the spinal cord may be widened. [1] A fluid-filled lesion forms, known as a syrinx. [1] This can vary in size significantly between patients. [1] Nerve fibres may be compressed where they cross the midline, or in other parts of the spinal cord. [1] Cranial nerves may be affected. [3]

  3. Central canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_canal

    The central canal (also known as spinal foramen or ependymal canal) is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs through the spinal cord. [1] The central canal lies below and is connected to the ventricular system of the brain , from which it receives cerebrospinal fluid, and shares the same ependymal lining.

  4. Syrinx (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrinx_(medicine)

    Cerebrospinal fluid fills the syrinx. Pressure differences along the spine cause the fluid to move within the cyst. Physicians believe that it is this continual movement of fluid that results in cyst growth and further damage to the spinal cord. In the case of syringomyelia, the syrinx can expand and elongate over time, destroying the spinal ...

    Magnetic resonance imaging alias Nuclear magnetic resonance : high strength (0.15 to 1.5 teslas) [4] are used to excite protons that produce the record results (like CT scan). It can show particular tissues more clearly than CT.; [4] video link: Linear accelerator: used in radiotherapy for cancer: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI ...

  6. Syringomyelia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringomyelia

    Excess cerebrospinal fluid in the central canal of the spinal cord is called hydromyelia. This term refers to increased cerebrospinal fluid that is contained within the ependyma of the central canal. When fluid dissects into the surrounding white matter forming a cystic cavity or syrinx, the term syringomyelia is applied. As these conditions ...

  7. Tarlov cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarlov_cyst

    Tarlov cysts are most commonly located in the S1 to S4/S5 region of the spinal canal, but can be found along any region of the spine.They usually form on the extradural components of sacrococcygeal nerve roots at the junction of dorsal root ganglion and posterior nerve roots and arise between the endoneurium and perineurium. [10]

  8. EOS (medical imaging) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EOS_(medical_imaging)

    EOS is a medical imaging system designed to provide frontal and lateral radiography images, while limiting the X-ray dose absorbed by the patient in a sitting or standing position. The system relies on the high sensitivity of a detector ( multi-wire chamber ) invented by Georges Charpak , which earned him the 1992 Nobel Prize .

  9. Neuroimaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroimaging

    Structural magnetic resonance imaging (structural MRI) of a head, from top to base of the skull. The first chapter of the history of neuroimaging traces back to the Italian neuroscientist Angelo Mosso who invented the 'human circulation balance', which could non-invasively measure the redistribution of blood during emotional and intellectual activity.
