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

The evaluation of spinal cord neuronal activity in humans with functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) is technically challenging. Major difficulties arise from cardiac and …

Background and objective Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion tensor tractography
(DTT) are two techniques that can measure white matter integrity of the spinal cord …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Currently, accurate and reproducible spinal cord GM
segmentation remains challenging and a noninvasive broadly accepted reference standard …

Objective To quantitively characterize the morphology of cervical disc herniation (CDH)
causing cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) and investigate whether the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to characterize diffusion tensor
imaging indices in the developing spinal cord, evaluating differences based on age and …

The aim of this study was to characterize in vivo measurements of diffusion along the length
of the entire healthy spinal cord and to compare DTI indices, including fractional anisotropy …

Purpose DWI suffers from low SNR when compared to anatomical MRI. To maintain
reasonable SNR at relatively high spatial resolution, multiple acquisitions must be averaged …

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive technique that can probe
the diffusion of water molecules within biological tissue. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …

Purpose Electrical epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is used as a treatment for chronic
pain as well as to partially restore motor function after a spinal cord injury. Monitoring the …
