Synopsis
This study compared the sensitivity of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) to detect cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) at an early stage. The results showed that NODDI-based indicators can distinguish patients with CSM without T2-weighted increased signal intensity from healthy controls during internal validation, while DTI-based indicators cannot. These findings suggest that NODDI is a promising method to detect CSM at an early stage.
