Imaging is integral in the diagnosis of canine intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) and in
differentiating subtypes of intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH). These include intervertebral …

Diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) is a noninvasive medical imaging tool used to investigate the
structure of white matter. The signal contrast in DTI is generated by differences in the …

OBJECT Previous studies that have evaluated the prognostic value of abnormal changes in
signals on T2-weighted MRI scans of an injured spinal cord have focused on the …

Background Designing novel biomaterials that incorporate or mimic the functions of
extracellular matrix to deliver precise regulatory signals for tissue regeneration is the focus …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) affects over 17,000 individuals in the United States per year,
resulting in sudden motor, sensory and autonomic impairments below the level of injury …

OBJECTIVE Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an MRI tool that provides an objective,
noninvasive, in vivo assessment of spinal cord injury (SCI). DTI is significantly better at …

There are no reliable neuroimaging biomarkers to predict long-term outcome after spinal
cord injury. This prospective longitudinal study evaluates diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute markers of spinal cord injury are essential for both
diagnostic and prognostic purposes. The goal of this study was to assess the relationship …

Functional multipotency renders human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSC)
a promising candidate for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). However, its safety and …

Objective To characterize remote secondary neurodegeneration of spinal tracts and neurons
below a cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and its relation to the severity of injury, the integrity …
