Stitching brain and spinal cord DTI using cross-correlation registration: toward an atlas of spinal tracts
Brain and spinal cord diffusion tensor imaging scans were stitched to map spinal tracts across the central nervous system, enabling detailed three-dimensional imaging of spinal cord pathways. The resulting images showed precise locations of spinal tracts, producing an in vivo atlas of the spinal cord white matter. This tool may help surgeons plan safer operations and better predict outcomes in spinal cord disorders.
