  • Cardiac imaging techniques: which, when, and why
    James D. Thomas, MD, Brian P. Griffin, MD and Richard D. White, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1996, 63 (4) 213-220;

  • Gardner’s hydrodynamic theory of syringomyelia revisited
    Prem K. Pillay, MD, Issam A. Awad, MD, MSc and Joseph F. Hahn, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 373-380;

    How longitudinal, fluid-filled cavities form within the spinal cord has eluded researchers, though widely espoused theories have been put forth. The authors propose a unified theory based on recent MRI experience and on elements of other current theories.
