Degenerative findings on MRI of the cervical spine: an inter- and intra-rater reliability study

Knowledge about the assessment reliability of common cervical spine changes is a prerequisite for precise and consistent communication about Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings. The purpose of this study was to determine the inter- and intra-rater reliability of degenerative findings when assessing cervical spine MRI. Fifty cervical spine MRIs from subjects with neck pain were used. A radiologist, a chiropractor and a second-year resident...
