Neurological Improvement Associated with Resolution of Irradiation-Induced Myelopathy: Serial Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography Findings
Journal of Neuroimaging, 06/30/09

Uchida K et al. - The authors document serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and [18F] 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) findings in the process of improvement from delayed radiation necrosis of the spinal cord. Considering that the normalization of FDG uptake correlated with neurological recovery, the uniform- and diffuse-increased FDG uptake noted in the initial course of myelopathy could reflect the metabolic activity of the compromised spinal cord.
