Negative Correlation Between Fractional Anisotropy on Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Neck Disability Index in Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy After Percutaneous Cervical Nucleoplasty: A Cross-Sectional Study
DTI is an imaging method that helps identify the clinical functional status of patients with CSR after PCN. The FA value can be used as a potential predictor of patient prognosis and are strongly negatively correlated with NDI scores. However, the long-term predictive effect warrants further investigation.
