## Abstract ## Purpose: To use spinal cord diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for investigating human cervical funiculi, acquire axial diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data with an inโplane resolution sufficient to delineate subquadrants within the spinal cord, obtain corresponding DTI metri

## Abstract In vivo longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of rodent spinal cord injury (SCI) was carried out over a period of eight weeks postโinjury. A balanced, rotationally invariant, alternating gradient polarity icosahedral diffusion encoding scheme was used for an unbiased estimation of
## Abstract Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has the potential to provide important information about the integrity of white matter tracts in injured spinal cord tissue. It is thought that DTIโbased transverse diffusivity (ฮป~__t__~) reflects the state of myelin, whereas longitudinal diffusivity (ฮป~__
## Abstract The feasibility of performing highโresolution in vivo MRI on mouse spinal cord (SC) at 9.4 T magnetic field strength is demonstrated. The MR properties of the cord tissue were measured and the characteristics of water diffusion in the SC were quantified. The data indicate that the diffe
## Abstract Functional MRI (fMRI) on spinal cordโinjured rodents at 4 and 8 weeks post injury (PI) is described. The paradigm for fMRI, based on electrical stimulation of rat paws, was automated using an inโhouse designed microprocessorโbased controller that was interfaced to a stimulator. The MR i
