Background The spinal cord and its interactions with the brain are fundamental for
movement control and somatosensation. However, brain and spinal electrophysiology in …

Despite recent improvements in diffusion-weighted imaging, spinal cord tractography is not
used in routine clinical practice because of difficulties in reconstructing tractograms, with a …

Objectives To assess the accuracy of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM)
in predicting immediate and 3-month postoperative neurological new deficit (or …

Purpose To assess the impact of a different distortion correction (DC) method and patient
geometry (sagittal balance) on the quality of spinal cord tractography rendering according to …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of diffusion tensor tractography
(DTT) of spinal cord on surgical planning and postoperative neurological outcomes in …

Purpose Neuroimaging provides great utility in complex spinal surgeries, particularly when
anatomical geometry is distorted by pathology (tumour, degeneration, etc.). Spinal cord MRI …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetization transfer (MT) magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) can help detect spinal cord pathology, and tract-specific analysis of their parameters …

Objective To define the prognostic factors for progression and to determine the impact of the
histological grading (according to the World Health Organization) on the progression-free …

Because the spinal cord contains a rich concentration of longitudinal and transversal fibers
in a very small area, intramedullary surgery could result in a high likelihood of morbidity. In …

Diffusion tensor imaging is a promising technique for assessing abnormalities in the spinal
cord. We aimed to explore the imaging features of diffusion tensor tractography in patients …
