Assessment of normal values of fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity of mobile lumbar spine roots by diffuson tensor MRI: comparison between 1.5 and 3T.

Assessment of normal values of fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity of mobile lumbar spine roots by diffuson tensor MRI: comparison between 1.5 and 3T.

Purpose: To assess the normal values of fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) of L4, L5 and S1 nerve roots using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in healthy volunteers. Materials and methods: 37 subjects without previous history of lumbalgia or radiculalgia were prospectively examined:...
