- Title
Diffusion tensor imaging in spinal pathology: A robust investigative tool in clinical practice.
- Authors
Kanna, Rishi M.; Rajasekaran, S.
- Abstract
The article discusses the principles, clinical applications and the challenges of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in various spinal pathologies. Topics discussed include how DTI uses analysis of the direction of proton diffusion to examine longitudinal anatomical structures; specific difficulties in using DTI on the spinal cord due to image distortions resulting from magnetic susceptibility artefacts; and the use of DTI in cervical myelopathy.
