Features: This updated second edition atlas aims to provide a practical reference guide for physicians and healthcare professionals involved in MRI examinations or diagnostics. The new edition includes additional chapters focusing on the occipito-cervical junction, emphasizing upper cervical ligaments and the atlantoaxial joint, as well as highlighting paraspinal muscle anatomy. The book features 97 high-quality spinal MRI images obtained from volunteers and autopsy specimens, along with relevant scan positioning images. Several autopsy images are used for comparative observation of key anatomical structures of the spine. Almost all images in this edition have been replaced with new images reflecting current imaging technology. These images were completed using traditional T1-weighted spin-echo, gradient echo, and T2-weighted fast (turbo) spin-echo sequences.
