Radiation Myelopathy:Significance of Gadolinium-DTPA Enhancement in the Diagnosis
Neuroradiology 33:286-289, Michikawa,M.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We described two cases of chronic progressive radiation myelopathy(CPRM), in which magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)was of great value for the diagnosis.Gadolinium-DTPA(Gd-DTPA)enhancement delineated precise lesions responsible for Brown-Sequard syndrome caused by CPRM in both cases.This safe,sensitive procedure will be a requisite study in patients who are suspected of CPRM.
