A neuroradiologist and spine surgeon independently measured signal loss areas and evaluated geometric distortion and neural structure visibility using standardized scales. Statistical analysis included paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with Bonferroni correction (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n MAVRIC-SL reduced signal loss area by 39.1% compared to STIR (0.809 \u00b1 0.205\u00a0cm\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n vs 1.356 \u00b1 0.266\u00a0cm\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n ,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001, Cohen\u2019s d = 2.04). Neural structure visibility showed substantial improvement: axial neural foramina (96.4% vs 0%), sagittal neural foramina (96.4% vs 7.1%), and sagittal spinal cord (98.8% vs 14.3%), all\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001.
