Progress in clinical application of diffusion tensor imaging and fiber tracking in spinal cord / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber tracking (FT) may show structural information about white matter fiber. With development of technology, the applications of the DTI and FT are widely used in spinal cord. DTI and FT are more sensitive than traditional MRI on detecting spinal cord lesions, able to provide more evidence for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis before treatment, as well as the evaluation for the prognosis.
