White Matter Fiber Tracking and Assessment of White Matter Integrity in the Cervical Spinal Cord

NCT00280306 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 35

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

White matter fiber tracking may provide a novel tool to assess the integrity of injured motor tracts in the cervical spine. It provides information about fiber directions which is not given by conventional MRI. White matter fiber tracking in the brain is used at several institutions, including our own medical college, for presurgical planning of tumor excision. We believe that the technical and clinical experience gained for the brain can be applied to fiber tracking in the cervical spine as well.
