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.
