MRE Evaluation for Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery: Stiffness and Adhesion Assessment
Sponsor: Shengjing Hospital
Summary
In spinal cord tumors requiring surgical intervention, the resection difficulty is determined by two significant factors: tumor stiffness and adhesion to surrounding tissue. The stiffness of the tumor dictates the complexity of removal, while strong adhesion presents additional challenges during the surgical procedure. This clinical trial aims to assess the clinical utility of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), in evaluating the stiffness and adhesion of spinal cord tumors and guiding surgical planning to selecting the most appropriate surgical approach for patients with spinal cord tumors.
