   Introduction
 
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be highly successful in imaging pathologic processes involving the cervical spine. MRI allows for high-resolution, multiplanar imaging of not only the osseous structures of the cervical spine but also the soft-tissue structures, including the intervertebral discs, spinal cord, and nerve roots 1-3 . The purposes of this paper are to:

1. Update orthopaedic surgeons on the applications and indications for MRI of the cervical spine.

2. Define the normal MRI anatomy of the cervical spine.

3. Illustrate the spectrum of cervical spinal disease detectable by MRI.
