Physicians rely on self-reports to monitor and evaluate the functional outcome in patients with spinal cord injury during their rehabilitation. These clinical and outcome measurements can be subjective and sometimes impractical if patients have cognitive difficulty. Traditional clinical MRI scans can provide doctors more objective information but they are not sensitive to detect the progression or repair during patient’s recovery. In this study, we investigated the sensitivity of DTI technique in detecting SCI injury and its progression or recovery over the course of rehabilitation in the individuals with SCI.
