Fig 3. DTI data covering one vertebral body (4 sections) acquired entirely during the spinal cord quiescence for the same subject as Fig 2. Ghosting of CSF in the T2-weighted images is greatly reduced (left column), and the diffusion-weighted spinal cord signal intensity is more consistent. Some ghosting of subcutaneous fat is still apparent. Compared with Fig 2, the spinal cord is clearly seen in the average diffusion-weighted image (right column) for all sections.
