Diffusion-based tractography enables the graphical reconstruction of the white matter
pathways in the brain and spinal cord of living humans. This technique has many potential …

The differential diagnosis of intradural spinal tumors is primarily based on location, but the
clinical presentation, age, and gender of the patient are also important factors in determining …

Imaging plays an essential role for the detection and analysis of pathologic conditions of the
brachial plexus. Currently, several new techniques are used in addition to conventional 2D …

There is a need to assess spinal cord involvement in multiple sclerosis with new imaging
techniques in order to understand better the underlying pathology. We aimed to evaluate …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a measure of the directional diffusion of water
molecules in tissues. The measurement of DTI indexes within the spinal cord provides a …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can visualize the white matter tracts in vivo. The aim of this
study was to assess the clinical utility of DTI in patients with diseases of the spinal cord …

Primary spinal astrocytoma is a subtype of glioma, the most common spinal cord tumor
found in the intradural intramedullary compartment. Spinal astrocytomas account for 6-8% of …

In the brain, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an established and reliable method for the
characterization of neurologic lesions. Although the diagnostic value of DWI in the early …

Object The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the predictive value of diffusion
tensor (DT) imaging with respect to resectability of intramedullary spinal cord tumors and to …

Objective To assess diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in cervical compressive
myelopathy (CCM) patients compared to normal volunteers, to relate them with myelopathy …
