T2-weighted MRI high signal in cervical spondylotic myelopathy is associated with dynamic change
Cervical cord compression worsens with cervical dynamic change from flexion to extension. The degree of compression change is considered a risk factor for high signals on MRI-T2WI. An extension/flexion value greater than 1.4 indicates an increased likelihood of a high-signal occurrence.
