The aim of this study is to investigate the Wallerian
degeneration process by DIAMOND, a multi-compartment
diffusion model, in the rat spinal cord after a
rhizotomy. With a longitudinal imaging approach and
several histological observations for each specific
cellular response, the fluctuations of the diffusion
parameters are analyzed and compared to the Wallerian
degeneration process in the course of time.
