Background:

  • Conventional Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging provides valuable diagnostic information.
  • Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an advanced MR technique with potential for spinal cord assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of spinal cord DWI.
  • To identify the need for further research to interpret DWI findings.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative assessment of spinal cord DWI.
  • Quantitative analysis of spinal cord DWI.

Main Results:

  • Spinal cord DWI may reveal information not obtainable through conventional MR imaging.
  • The precise meaning of qualitative and quantitative DWI results requires further investigation.
