BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to characterize diffusion tensor
imaging indices in the developing spinal cord, evaluating differences based on age and …

AIM: To assess inter-and intra-rater reliability (agreement) between two region of interest
(ROI) methods in pediatric spinal cord diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). METHODS: Inner-Field …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DTI data of the normal healthy spinal cord in children are
limited compared with adults and are typically focused on the cervical spinal cord. The …

Background and objective Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion tensor tractography
(DTT) are two techniques that can measure white matter integrity of the spinal cord …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent studies suggest that pediatric subjects as old as 8-
years-of-age may have difficulty with the ISNCSCI examinations. Our aim was to investigate …

Purpose Obtaining fast, reliable, high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the
pediatric cervical spinal cord (CSC) is challenging, given the multitude of technical …

Abstract Study design Retrospective study. Objectives To perform quantitative DTI
measurements of the entire cervical and thoracic spinal cord (SC) in typically developing …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DTI in the brain has been well established, but its
application in the spinal cord, especially in pediatrics, poses several challenges. The small …

Study design: Quantitative study. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of pediatric spinal
cord diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) generated from reduced field of view diffusion …

The aim of this study is to assess the utility and effectiveness of diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI) and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) of the entire pediatric cervical and thoracic …
