Decreased Value of Highly Accurate Fractional Anisotropy Using 3-Tesla ZOOM Diffusion Tensor Imaging After Decompressive Surgery in Patients with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: Aligned Fibers Effect

Decreased Value of Highly Accurate Fractional Anisotropy Using 3-Tesla ZOOM Diffusion Tensor Imaging After Decompressive Surgery in Patients with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: Aligned Fibers Effect

Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is widely used; however, most of the prior studies have resulted in presurgical decreased fractional anisotropy (FA) values in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). We used ZOOM DTI and could acquire highly accurate FA values during periopera...
