 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 20 Titanium spinal posterior cervical fixation system on postoperative MRI imaging of Abstract of titanium posterior cervical fixation system on postoperative MRI imaging effects. [Methods] Titanium 6 routine posterior cervical spine in patients with postoperative MRI examination, MRI is used in 1.0 T and 1.5 T superconducting MRI systems, patients were conducted sagittal fast spin-echo sequence ( TSE) T1-weighted image (T1WI) and TSE T2-weighted image (T2WI) and axial scans of TSET1-weighted images, and then right after fixation artifact titanium alloy characteristics and the structure of the spinal canal analysis of the impact. [Results] MRI artifact size in a fixed-size 2 ~ 3 times, able to basically identify the original shape within the implant, titanium implant fixation itself in both T1 and T2-weighted performance of the low signal, which edge of the T1 and T2-weighted on both a clear line of high-intensity zone. In the T1 and T2-weighted sagittal and axial T1-weighted on the spinal cord and spinal canal can be clearly displayed inside the structure. Connecting rod posterior system, the smaller artifacts, only right next to the lamina and the small bone at the image to identify influential observations on the postoperative images was less affected. Laminar hooks larger artifacts will affect the structure of the lamina in the vicinity of the observation, in particular, stretching from within the spinal canal of the spinal cord will affect the rear part of the observation. Pedicle screw screw tail artifact larger, right next to the lamina and the small bone at the image to identify influential; the right pedicle screw implanted in the neck and artifacts are also larger, mainly affect pairs of adjacent lateral parts of the spinal canal, vertebral artery, intervertebral foramen, spinal nerve and the posterior lateral disc prominent structure observed. [Conclusion] The posterior cervical spine in patients after internal fixation
