Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Perfusion Imaging of the Spinal Cord Before and After Surgical Decompression for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy
CEUS can acquire spinal cord perfusion data before and after decompression in patients with CSM. This modality shows promise in elucidating the role of perfusion in CSM recovery and may serve as a prognostic tool.
