Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of the Spinal Cord AJNR 21:587-591, Bammer,R.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Diffusion-weighted MR imaging may increase the sensitivity and specificity of MR imaging for certain pathologic conditions of the spinal cord but is rarely performed because of several technical issues. We therefore tested a novel phase-nav igated spin-echo diffusion-weighted interleaved echo-lanar imaging sequence in seven healthy volunteers and six patients with intramedullary lesions. We performed diffusion-weighted MR imaging of the spinal cord with high spatial resolution. Different p atterns of diffusion abnormalities observed in patient studies support the possible diagnostic impact of diffusion-weighted MR imaging for diseases of the spinal cord.
