We have designed, built, and tested an apparatus used for investigating the biomechanical
response of a novel intradural spinal cord stimulator to the simulated physiological …

脊髓磁共振成像是将磁共振成像应用于脊髓部分(主要是颈髓) 的先进研究技术, 在人体感觉,
运动等基础科学研究, 以及脊髓损伤, 脊髓炎, 慢性疼痛等疾病的临床应用中均已逐渐得到使用 …

Two major medical applications have inspired this thesis: firstly, the potential link between
the venous circulation and several neurological pathologies, secondly arterial hypertension …

This study develops a means of delivering electrical stimuli directly to the pial surface of the
spinal cord for treatment of intractable pain. This intradural implant must remain in direct …

We have designed, built and tested an anthropomorphic-scale surrogate spinal canal, for
use in preliminary evaluations of the performance characteristics of a novel intradural spinal …

Purpose Obtaining fast, reliable, high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the
pediatric cervical spinal cord (CSC) is challenging, given the multitude of technical …

Simple Summary Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a specialized imaging technique that
measures the strength and vector of water molecule movement, which is analyzed using a …

Objective: Avoidance of radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION) from stereotactic
radiosurgery (SRS) requires precise anatomical localization; however, no prior studies have …

In the thesis I present a new method to assess longitudinally spinal cord (SC) atrophy, called
SIENA-SC. The spinal cord (SC) is an important area of the central nervous system (CNS) as …

The early diagnosis and management of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is
essential to prevent further disease progression. Current diagnoses rely heavily on …
