The aim of this study was to quantify the association between diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
parameters of the cervical spinal cord and neurological disability in patients with chronic …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have demonstrated alterations
during task-induced brain activation in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. The interruption to …

Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system that facilitate
efficient signal transduction. The loss of these cells and the associated myelin sheath can …

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 …

Background Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to disruption of axons and macroscopic
tissue loss. Using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), we assessed degeneration of the …

This study compares remote neurodegenerative changes caudal to a cervical injury in
degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM; ie, non-traumatic) and incomplete traumatic spinal …

The preservation of functional neural tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI) is the basis for
spontaneous neurological recovery. Some injured patients in the acute phase have more …

This study examined the sensitivity of ultra-high field (16.4 T) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI;
70 μm in-plane resolution, 1 mm slice thickness) to evaluate the spatiotemporal …

Diffusion MRI is extensively used to study brain microarchitecture and pathologies, and
water diffusion appears highly anisotropic in the white matter (WM) of the spinal cord (SC) …

Outcome prediction after spinal cord injury (SCI) is essential for early counseling and
orientation of the rehabilitative intervention. Moreover, prognostication of outcome is crucial …
