Purpose We aimed to identify non-invasive imaging parameters that can serve as
biomarkers for the integrity of the spinal cord, which is paramount to neurological function …

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 …

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 …

Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) contributes significantly to mortality and morbidity after
traumatic brain injury (TBI), but its identification is still a diagnostic challenge because of the …

The aim of this study was to characterize magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
in proximal regions of the spinal cord following a thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI). Sprague …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a measure of the directional diffusion of water
molecules in tissues. The measurement of DTI indexes within the spinal cord provides a …

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

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising biomarker of spinal cord injury (SCI). In the
acute aftermath, DTI in SCI animal models consistently demonstrates high sensitivity and …

Chronic spinal cord compression is the most common cause of spinal cord impairment in
patients with nontraumatic spinal cord damage. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging …

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 …
