- W4293764319 abstract "Spinal cord injuries pose grave medical and socioeconomic burdens warranting measures for early diagnosis, triaging, prognostication and therapeutics. Imaging has since long played a pivotal role in this regard, with continuing research and technological advancements opening newer frontiers. One such advanced Magnetic resonance (MR) technique is Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) which assesses cord microstructure by tracking the movement of water molecules in biological tissues. DTI utilizes the principle of anisotropy exhibited by the normal compact white matter (WM) tracts of the cord, in which direction-dependent water molecular motion is seen along the axonal axis. Disruption of this complex structure in response to injury alters the movement of these molecules, interrupting anisotropy and thereby DTI metrics. Evaluation of DTI images can be done both by quantitative indices, of which fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) are the most commonly used and by qualitative fiber tracking (tractography) methods in which three-dimensional WM tracts are reconstructed by algorithmic post-processing. Reduced FA is consistently seen at injury sites as a direct consequence of disturbance of anisotropy. Diffusivity values are however more variable with both high and low values recorded across studies. 3D tractography images allow visual assessment of cord integrity, morphology, and orientation. Significant correlation is found between DTI parameters and various spinal injury scores. Furthermore, DTI also helps in accurate lesion mapping and in assessing cord changes distant from injury epicenter providing a holistic evaluation. From its inception, consistent progress in the understanding and application of DTI has effectuated its clinical utility and impact. Incorporation into day-to-day diagnostics is however still challenging, due to suboptimal image acquisition, difficult post-processing, and lack of standardized protocols & image interpretation guidelines. Further research with technical validation, development of normative and disease data sets, and histological confirmation will help establish this novel technique in routine diagnostics." @default.
