Optimization of Acquisition Parameters of Diffusion-Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Spinal Cord
Investigative Radiology, 06/30/06

The purpose of this study was to optimize imaging parameters for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the cervical spinal cord using a recently developed sensitivity-encoded (SENSE) imaging technique, which can substantially reduce susceptibility artifacts...Conclusion: Optimal parameters for DTI in the cervical spinal cord included a b-value of 900 seconds/mm2, 15 diffusion gradient directions, 5 excitations, and a slice thickness of 4mm
