Detailed Interpretation and Figure Legends for MRI Images of selective patients with Myelitis. (A) Sagittal T2W (left) and STIR (right) MRI of the thoracolumbar spine in a 17-year-old female with multiple sclerosis. Vertebral levels T11, T12, and L1 are labeled, with red stars indicating hyperintense lesions due to demyelination. (B) Sagittal T2W (left) and STIR (right) MRI of the cervical spine of a 4-year-old male with Enterovirus D68 infection. Vertebral levels C4, C5, C6, and C7 are labeled, showing hyperintense signals indicative of myelitis. (C) Sagittal and axial T2-weighted MRI of the thoracolumbar spine of an 18-year-old female with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Vertebral levels T9, T10, T11, T12, and L1 are labeled. The sagittal view shows hyperintense lesions, and the axial view at T12-L1 highlights spinal cord inflammation consistent with myelitis. MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging; T2W, T2-Weighted; STIR, Short Tau Inversion Recovery; MS, Multiple Sclerosis; EV-D68, Enterovirus D68; SLE: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
