Utility of the fast-field-echo resembling a computed tomography using restricted echo-spacing sequence in evaluating ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine
MRI with the FRACTURE sequence may be sufficient for assessing OPLL of the cervical spine. Under specific conditions, the FRACTURE sequence could serve as an alternative to conventional CT examination, reducing both the associated costs and radiation exposure.
