The Clinical Correlation of a New Practical MRI Method for Grading Cervical Neural Foraminal Stenosis Based on Oblique Sagittal Images

Abstract

The Park system, based on oblique sagittal MRI sections, provides a reliable and reproducible assessment of the severity of cervical neural foraminal stenosis. According to the Park system, grades 2 and 3 are associated with positive neurologic manifestations, and the Park system successfully predicts positive neurologic manifestations at these grades.
