Degree of subvoxel spinal cord compression measured with super-resolution tract density imaging (TDI) correlates with neurological impairment in cervical spondylotic myelopathy

摘要

ObjectThe purpose of this study was to explore the use of super-resolution tract density images derived from probabilistic diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography of the spinal cord as an imaging surrogate for microstructural integrity and functional impairment in patients with cervical spondylosis.
