Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) of the Spinal Cord
Contact
Description
This study aims to explore a special type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) in children aged 0-6 months and 6-17 years. The study will enroll 24 participants and will include children with spinal cord disorders, children receiving spinal radiation for central nervous system tumors, and children without spinal cord disorders. An MRI is a machine that takes detailed pictures of the spine. Researchers are looking to see if DTI can help doctors better understand and treat spinal cord disorders. The procedure is safe and does not require any sedative or contrast agent injections.
