Diffusion Tensor MR Imaging of the Neurologically Intact Human Spinal Cord

ported, a comprehensive study of the pediatric spinal cord that examines the accuracy and reproducibility of DTI measures has not yet been reported. The investigation of normative

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six clinical patients underwent 1.5T MR imaging examination that included rFOV SS-EPI DWI of the cervical spinal cord as well as 2 comparison

In our study, we used DTI to study WM integrity in infants with hydrocephalus to assess the anisotropic diffusion prop- erties in the corpus callosum and internal capsule

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics of healthy patients within ROIs placed in the anterior, lateral, and posterior spinal cord (bilaterally, with 2 data points per location

Comparing the measured ADC values with the diffusion-sen- sitizing gradients in the C-C direction to the aver- age of the ADCs with the diffusion gradients in the axial plane (A-P

It is a first step towards in vivo characterization of the healthy and injured human spinal cord using high angular resolution diffusion imaging and QBI.. © 2008

When a more robust protocol and thus more robust data is available, a broader comparison in grey matter to spinal cord ratio and anterior to posterior nerve root diameter

In fact, DTI changes have been documented in the brain after spinal cord injury in both rats and humans, with significant differences occurring in the thalamus, corticospinal
