White matter makes up about fifty percent of the human brain. Maturation of white matter
accompanies biological development and undergoes the most dramatic changes during …

MRI scanner hardware, field strengths, and sequence parameters are major variables in
diffusion studies of the spinal cord. Reliability between scanners is not well known …

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to employ a semi-automatic method for measuring
spinal cord cross-sectional area (SCCSA) and investigate the correlations between diffusion …

Study Design. A prospective study. Objective. To investigate the association between
microstructural changes measured by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and clinical symptoms …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Multi-parametric MRI, provides a variety of biomarkers
sensitive to white matter integrity, However, spinal cord MRI data in pediatrics is rare …

Pediatric spinal cord morphometry has been relatively understudied because of non-optimal
image quality due to the difficulty of spine imaging, rarity of post-mortem analysis, motion …

Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) has undisputed advantages over the more classical
diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) as witnessed by the fast-increasing number of …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the spinal cord has been extensively used to identify
biomarkers for spinal cord pathology. Previously, the longitudinal ComBat (longComBat) …

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of the pediatric spinal cord
is important for both diagnostic and treatment planning. In recent years several quantitative …

In spine imaging, while MRI is the best imaging modality, the conventional MR techniques
do not appear to differentiate the various pathophysiological processes such as edema from …
