Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the concordance between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) grading for cervical neural foraminal stenosis (CNFS) based on axial and oblique sagittal images and evaluate the reliability of each grading plane. CNFS was graded at C2–3 to C7–T1 levels based on axial and oblique sagittal images separately by three radiologists. The concordance between CNFS grading based on axial and oblique sagittal images was strong for all three observers (Kendall's W = 0.80, 0.79, and 0.82), despite the tendency of higher grading with oblique sagittal images. Both imaging planes supported strong interobserver reliability.
本研究的目的是评估基于轴位和斜矢状位图像的颈椎神经间孔狭窄(CNFS)磁共振成像(MRI)分级的一致性，并评估每个分级平面的可靠性。三位放射科医生分别根据轴位和斜位矢状位图像将CNFS分级为C2-3至C7-T1。尽管斜矢状面图像的CNFS分级倾向较高，但三位观测者基于轴向和斜矢状面图像的CNFS分级之间的一致性很强(Kendall’s W = 0.80、0.79和0.82)。两种成像平面都支持强大的观察者间可靠性。
期刊介绍：
The mission of Clinical Imaging is to publish, in a timely manner, the very best radiology research from the United States and around the world with special attention to the impact of medical imaging on patient care. The journal''s publications cover all imaging modalities, radiology issues related to patients, policy and practice improvements, and clinically-oriented imaging physics and informatics. The journal is a valuable resource for practicing radiologists, radiologists-in-training and other clinicians with an interest in imaging. Papers are carefully peer-reviewed and selected by our experienced subject editors who are leading experts spanning the range of imaging sub-specialties, which include:
-Body Imaging-
Breast Imaging-
Cardiothoracic Imaging-
Imaging Physics and Informatics-
Molecular Imaging and Nuclear Medicine-
