The timing of decision‐making for a surgical intervention in patients with mild degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is challenging. Spinal cord motion phase contrast MRI (PC‐MRI) measurements can reveal the extent of dynamic mechanical strain on the spinal cord to potentially identify high‐risk patients. This study aims to determine the comparability of axial and sagittal PC‐MRI measurements of spinal cord motion with the prospect of improving the clinical workup.
