Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an emerging technique providing improved contrast
between white matter tracts and gray matter in the central nervous system. Recent animal …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has the potential to provide important information about the
integrity of white matter tracts in injured spinal cord tissue. It is thought that DTI‐based …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe disorder of the CNS leading to tissue damage and
disability. Because it is critical to understand the pathological processes, it is important to …

We investigate the ability of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to distinguish between three
experimental rat models of spinal cord injury mechanism–contusion, dislocation, and …

In vivo diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) derived indices have been demonstrated to quantify
accurately white-matter injury after contusion spinal cord injury (SCI) in rodents. In general, a …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes long-term disability with limited functional recovery
linked to the extent of axonal connectivity. Quantitative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), based on the property of preferential diffusion of water
molecules in biological tissue, is seeing increasing clinical application in the pathologies of …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is more sensitive than conventional magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) for the identification of axonal degeneration. However, no study to date has …

INTRODUCTION: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a significant contributor to
patient morbidity with limited functional recovery linked to the extent of axonal damage. The …

OBJECTIVE Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an MRI tool that provides an objective,
noninvasive, in vivo assessment of spinal cord injury (SCI). DTI is significantly better at …
