Spinal cord MRI. Upper Panel: Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) overlaid with the STIR pulse sequence, in a MPR algorithm. For each of single point (colored box) ROIs, a correspondent fiber is evoked and reconstructed to ensure that the level examined and the ROI adopted is inside the spinal cord. Lower Panel: DTI post-processing by mean of a MPR algorithm, with overlaying of the STIR pulse sequence, to select the exact levels to be studied at this time of examination and in further MR follow-up scans. Disk and somatic vascular cleft are adopted to select the proper planes.
