Quantitative spinal cord (SC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents many challenges,
including a lack of standardized imaging protocols. Here we present a prospectively …

Pathophysiological changes in the spinal cord white and grey matter resulting from injury
can be observed with MRI techniques. These techniques provide sensitive markers of …

With the brain, the spinal cord forms the central nervous system. Initially considered a
passive relay between the brain and the periphery, the spinal cord is now recognized as …

In recent years, ultra-high field MRI (7 T and above) has received more interest for clinical
imaging. Indeed, a number of studies have shown the benefits from the application of this …

Mapping the structural and functional connectivity of the central nervous system has become
a key area within neuroimaging research. While detailed network structures across the …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for the early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
(MS), for investigating the disease pathophysiology, and for discriminating MS from other …

Most of our knowledge about the human spinal ascending (sensory) and descending
(motor) pathways comes from non-invasive electrophysiological investigations. However …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain has helped to reveal mechanisms of
pain perception in health and disease. Recently, imaging approaches have been developed …

Multi-parametric quantitative MRI (qMRI) of the spinal cord is a promising non-invasive tool
to probe early microstructural damage in neurological disorders. It is usually performed in …

There is growing interest in imaging multiple sclerosis (MS) through the ultra-high-field
(UHF) lens, which currently means a static magnetic field strength of 7 T or higher. Because …
