## Abstract In vivo longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of rodent spinal cord injury (SCI) was carried out over a period of eight weeks postβinjury. A balanced, rotationally invariant, alternating gradient polarity icosahedral diffusion encoding scheme was used for an unbiased estimation of

## Abstract ## Purpose To determine differences in diffusion measurements in white matter (WM) and gray matter (GM) regions of the rat cervical, thoracic, and cauda equina spinal cord using in vivo diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with a 9.4T MR scanner. ## Materials and Methods DTI was performed
## 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 DTIβbased transverse diffusivity (Ξ»~__t__~) reflects the state of myelin, whereas longitudinal diffusivity (Ξ»~__
In vivo diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of rat cervical and thoracic spinal cord was performed using a three-element phased array coil at 7 T. The magnetic field was shimmed over the spinal cord in real time using an in-house developed automatic algorithm. Echo planar imaging (EPI)-based diffusion-we
