  OBJECTIVE: A major shortcoming in optimizing care for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the lack of robust quantitative imaging tools offered by conventional MRI. Advanced MRI modalities, such as diffusion MRI (dMRI), including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI), may help address this limitation by providing granular evaluations of spinal cord microstructure. METHODS: Forty-seven patients with CSM underwent comprehensive clinical asses…

• Epidemiology of Gunshot-Related Spinal Injuries and Related Risk Factors for In-Hospital Mortality in the United States from 2015-2019: A National Trauma Data Bank Analysis

  Firearm injuries in the U.S. pose a significant public health burden, but data on gunshot wounds (GSWs) specifically involving the spine are scarce. We examined epidemiological trends in GSWs to the spine and associated spinal cord injury (SCI) and mortality rates. This was a cross-sectional study of data from level I-III trauma centers in the U.S. participating in the American College of Surgeons National Trauma Data Bank (ACS NTDB) in 2015-2019. We identified adult and pediatric patients prese…

• Diffusion MRI Metrics Characterize Postoperative Clinical Outcomes After Surgery for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy

  Neurosurgery · 2024-06-21 · 11 citations

  articleOpen access

  BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Advanced diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) modeling, such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI), may help guide rehabilitation strategies after surgical decompression for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Currently, however, postoperative DWI is difficult to interpret, owing to signal distortions from spinal instrumentation. Therefore, we examined the relationship between postoperative DTI/DBSI-extracted from the rostral C3 spina…
