Fig. 1: Measurement of morphologic parameters of the cervical spinal cord.

From: The relationship between the structural changes in the cervical spinal cord and sensorimotor function of children with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury (TLSCI)

Fig. 1

a A participant with ID 3 suffered TLSCI due to backbend. A sagittal T2-weighted image taken 14 months post-injury shows atrophy of the spinal cord below the T9 to L1 level. b 3D T1-MPRAGE midsagittal image of the same participant. The white line shows the assessed ___location of the spinal cord. c Extract the morphologic spinal cord parameters at this ___location, including spinal cord CSA, APW, and LRW. TLSCI thoracolumbar spinal cord injury, MPRAGE magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo, CSA cross-sectional area, APW anterior-posterior width, LRW left-right width.
