Although lesion size is widely considered to be the most reliable predictor of outcome after
CNS injury, lesions of comparable size can produce vastly different magnitudes of functional …

Quantitative spinal cord (SC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents many challenges,
including a lack of standardized imaging protocols. Here we present a prospectively …

For the past 25 years, the field of neuroimaging has witnessed the development of several
software packages for processing multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to …

Pathophysiological changes in the spinal cord white and grey matter resulting from injury
can be observed with MRI techniques. These techniques provide sensitive markers of …

Template-based analysis of multi-parametric MRI data of the spinal cord sets the foundation
for standardization and reproducibility, thereby helping the discovery of new biomarkers of …

Background A recent meeting of international imaging experts sponsored by the
International Spinal Research Trust (ISRT) and the Wings for Life Foundation identified 5 …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disorder of the CNS that affects both the brain and
the spinal cord. MRI studies in MS focus more often on the brain than on the spinal cord …

Non-invasive brain tissue characterization using qMRI or hMRI has significant implications
for both research and clinics. Both approaches improve comparability across sites and time …

In a companion paper by Cohen-Adad et al. we introduce the spine generic quantitative MRI
protocol that provides valuable metrics for assessing spinal cord macrostructural and …

An important image processing step in spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging is the ability
to reliably and accurately segment grey and white matter for tissue specific analysis. There …
