## Abstract The feasibility of performing highβresolution 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
31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was applied in vivo to study metabolic changes in spinal cord after experimental traumatic injury. Severe trauma, resulting in spastic paraplegia, caused an early and sustained loss of high energy phosphates with profound intracellular acidosis. Early metabo
## Abstract Functional MRI (fMRI) on spinal cordβinjured 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 inβhouse designed microprocessorβbased controller that was interfaced to a stimulator. The MR i
Imaging studies in NeurobehΓ§et's disease have to date focused on the brain, with only four previous case reports of documented spinal cord involvement on MRI being published. A fifth case is documented here, together with a review of the literature.
