White matter sparing was defined as tissue showing normal myelin appearance and density (lacking cyst, degeneration). To eliminate fixation –dependent artifacts in spinal cord cross-sectional area, spared myelin at the impact site was expressed relative to the area of white matter measured 1 cm rostral to the site of injury.
