Diffusion tensor imaging observation in Pott’s spine with or without neurological deficit

Abstract: Background:Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is based upon the phenomenon of water diffusion known as “Brownian motion.” DTI can detect changes in compressed spinal cord earlier than magnetic resonance imaging and is more sensitive to subtle pathological changes of the spinal cord. DTI observation in compressed and noncompressed spinal cord in tuberculosis (TB) spine is not described. This study presents observations in Pott's spine patients with or without neural deficit.Materials and Methods:Thirty consecutive … Show more

“…Similarly, in patients with spinal cord compression and significant epidural collection, the inclusion of an epidural collection while drawing the region of interest (ROI) may be responsible for such findings in the present study ( Figure 5 ). A previous study from the author’s institution observed similar findings, however follow-up and correlation with neurological score were not done [ 25 ].…”

We could give recommendations on most of the issues with a very low evidence available and lot more work is still to be done.…”

“…Thus, DTI can pick up early changes in the white matter tract, much before the change becomes apparent on conventional MRI. DTI is known to provide details about tissue organization and structure which is beyond the scope and resolution of conventional MRI [ 9 ].…”
