| Research Abstract |
Utilization of fMRI technologies to the spinal cord have not been established due to underlying various technical and methodological problems. In present study, we tried to introduce the conventional fMRI technique (Gradient-echo echo planner imaging) into cervical spinal cord imaging by modifications of parameter and a bit of contrivance during image capture processing. Although it is not sufficient to utilize it for standard imaging studies, latest result successfully detect the certain cervical cord activations after functional painful task of hand.
