PMID 30913967WHAT IT FOUND
This is a clinical commentary on magnetic resonance imaging research for spinal conditions.
It has no original results, so it does not tell therapists what to change.
What this paper is
This is a clinical commentary reviewing magnetic resonance imaging of spinal muscles, spinal cord, and brain in spinal conditions. It discusses methods, possible findings from cited studies, and future research directions, but it reports no original methods, participants, or results. There is no finding here to change practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat the commentary as evidence that these magnetic resonance imaging methods are ready for routine clinical decisions.
