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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DTI data of the normal healthy spinal cord in children are
limited compared with adults and are typically focused on the cervical spinal cord. The …

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) of the pediatric Spinal Cord (SC) poses several challenges.
The small cord size has inherent low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the diffusion signal …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DTI in the brain has been well established, but its
application in the spinal cord, especially in pediatrics, poses several challenges. The small …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the spinal cord is an advanced MR imaging technique for
analyzing the white matter changes in a microstructural level. A normative dataset of DTI …

Study Design. The design was a nonexperimental, repeated measures design. Objective. To
examine the reliability of repeated diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) values of the pediatric cord …

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 …

We evaluated intra-rater, inter-rater, and between-scan reproducibility, hemispheric
differences, and the effect of age on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional …

Study design: Quantitative study. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of pediatric spinal
cord diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) generated from reduced field of view diffusion …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is used widely now in routine examinations and clinical
research of brain. Especially for white matter diseases or brain developments, DTI provides …
