Diffusion tensor imaging at 3T for diagnosing root avulsion in adults with acute traumatic brachial plexus injuries
Diffusion tensor imaging appears to be sensitive to early microstructural changes in the distal stumps of avulsed roots in adults with tBPI. DTI may supplement morphological MRI to better identify patients who need early reconstruction.
