Abstract Spinal cord functional imaging offers new insights into normal sensorimotor processing and monitoring disease processes affecting the cord. However, all imaging-based techniques suffer from unwanted contributions to the measured…
Abstract MR spectroscopy is an extremely valuable tool for assessing tissue biochemistry in vivo. Its use in the spinal cord presents several technical challenges due to geometrical, anatomical, and physiological…
Abstract Blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD fMRI) is widely used by the neuroimaging community for studies of the brain, but remains controversial in the spinal cord…
Abstract The MR signal from spinal cord tissue arises almost entirely from water. T 2 -weighted contrast is determined by tissue water properties and is a valuable tool for qualitative…
Abstract Spinal cord arteries and veins represent tiny, millimeter-to-submillimeter blood vessels for which in vivo depiction has only recently become possible using noninvasive imaging techniques. A brief overview of the…
Abstract In vivo magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord is challenging due to susceptibility variations between various tissue types, air in the lungs and trachea, and in some cases…
