DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING OF CERVICAL SPINAL CORD A 3T : NORMAL VALUES OF RADIAL, AXIAL, MEAN DIFFUSIVITY AND FRACTIONAL ANISOTROPY IN ANTERIOR HORN, DORSAL FUNICULUS AND PYRAMIDAL TRACT AT EACH CERVICAL LEVEL

From a commercially available axial SE-EPI DTI sequence,
after empirical optimizations in order to limit
distortion in an acceptable scan time, our aim was to
determine the normal values of DTI parameters (mean
diffusivity, axial diffusivity, radial diffusivity and
fractional anisotropy) in key locations of cervical
spine (cortico spinal tract, posterior column and
anterior horn, full spine section) at each cervical
level from C1 to C7.
