The purpose of this study is to assess image qualities of MPR images depending on imaging planes　of Cube to determine the optimal imaging plane in the cervical spine. The differences of FWHMs in frequency and phase encoding directions of the transverse, sagittal, coronal source images were compared and those encoding directions on the transverse, sagittal, coronal MPR images were compared. MRI of Volunteers image qualities were recorded by assessing sharpness of the vertebral body, spinal cord, and nerve roots on the images. To provide better image qualities in cervical spine MRI using Cube, transverse planes should be selected.
