A master's thesis at the college of Medicine, University of Basrah, discussed Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) and Spine MRI as a Diagnostic Utility in Reference to Clinical Dysfunction for Patients with Myelopathies: A Comparative Study. The research presented by student  Haneen Jasim Mohammed, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the use of SSEPs and MRI in evaluating myelopathies and to guide clinicians in selecting the most appropriate diagnostic tool for their patients. Theresearch concluded that the study suggests that SSEPs is more sensitive and accurate tool for detecting severe myelopathies, particularly those that are non-compressive in nature with negative MRI. The findings also highlight the importance of considering the underlying cause of myelopathy when interpreting SSEPs and other diagnostic tests. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings and to explore the clinical utility of SSEPs in the diagnosis and management of myelopathies.
