Figure 2. MRI imaging of Normal group, Injury group and Repaired group in the rat SCI model at 1 d, 7 d, 14 d and 28 d.

Figure 2

In Normal group, the rat spinal cord was continuous and uninterrupted. In Injury group, there was no observable increase in signal intensity of the spinal cord in T1WI from 1st day to 28th day. In contrast, hypersignal emerged in spinal cords of the Repaired group of rats in T1WI beginning on the 7th day, which was further observed to be increased and extended until the 14th day statu-post injection. On day 28, the area of hypersignal in spinal cord was larger than before. Arrows indicated the segmental SCI.
