Voxel-wise statistics. Maps of fADC_|| and T₂ at the epicenter from the acute time point were spatially registered to a common study-specific template space. Voxel-wise correlations between each of the MRI metrics and either BBB or days to micturition were performed. Both fADC_|| and T₂ had strong correlations with BBB throughout much of the spinal cord white matter. Correlations between T₂ and micturition revealed relationships localized to the lateral white matter tracts. BBB, Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan; fADC_|| “filtered” parallel diffusivity from imaged-based DDE; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging. Color image is available online.
