Apparent diffusion tensor (ADT) measurements on the spinal cord using a pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) multi-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence are presented. In a study of 10 healthy volunteers, the obtained rotationally invariant anisotropy information is compared to the results obtained by the
## Abstract The authors report the utility of diffusion tensor tractography in demonstrating the partially severed spinal cord tracts on one side with normal, intact, distally traceable tracts on the opposite side in a patient with posttraumatic Brown Sequard syndrome. A 30‐year‐old man presented w
## Abstract Directionally‐ordered cellular structures that impede water motion, such as cell membranes and myelin, result in water mobility that is also directionally‐dependent. Diffusion tensor imaging characterizes this directional nature of water motion and thereby provides structural informatio
