A/P eccentricity of the cervical spinal cord. \({\text{A/P}}\;{\text{eccentricity}} = \left( {\frac{P - A}{{P + A}}} \right)\), where P is the distance from the spinal cord to the posterior wall of the vertebral canal, and A is the distance from the spinal cord to the anterior wall of the vertebral canal. An A/P eccentricity > 0 (< 0) indicates that the spinal cord is anteriorly (posteriorly) positioned (CRM, cervical rotatory manipulation; A, anterior; P, posterior)
