Overview

MRI may be helpful in establishing the etiology of respiratory failure, in particular if the cause is due to a pathology of the neck, central or peripheral nervous system. MRI can predict the occurence of respiratory failure in a patient with cervical spine injury. MRI may suggest that stroke, tumor, spinal cord injury and/or complete spinal transection are the cause of respiratory failure. Findings on MRI may include embolism, thrombosis, and haemorrhage.
