description | Magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging (DTI) provides a unique perspective on the pathophysiological and microstructural changes during spinal cord injury, with high spatial specificity; meanwhile, NM reflects the conduction and integrity of neuroelectrical signals in spinal cord fiber tracts, with time-specific and dynamic evaluation effects. The fractional anisotropy (FA) value, SEP amplitude, and neurological function score or improvement rate are correlated. The combination of DTI and NM can more reliably quantify the spinal cord function, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, and determine the patient's prognosis, which can provide reference for clinical decision making and future research for SCI patients. That is, the lower the preoperative FA value and the lower the SEP amplitude, the worse the preoperative and postoperative neurological function, the lower the improvement rate, and the worse the prognosis of patients. Therefore, we believe that spinal cord function can be graded according to JOA scores to find the corresponding FA and SEP amplitude ranges and that, by measuring FA and SEP amplitude in the future, we can reverse the assessment of spinal cord function, expected postoperative improvement, and long-term prognosis. At the same time, FA values can also help determine the nature of the lesion to some extent. |
