Value of MRI and DTI as Biomarkers for Classifying Acute Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine if diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in conjunction with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reliably forecast neurologic recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). As we are only in our second month of patient recruitment, there are no significant findings to report.
