摘要:
Systems and methods for producing imaging biomarkers that indicate a tissue state in the nervous system of a subject based on diffusion tensor imaging (“DTI”) of the subjects spinal cord or brain are provided. The imaging biomarker can indicate a tissue state in the central nervous system (e.g., brain or spinal cord) of a subject based on DTI of the subjects spinal cord. As another example, however, the imaging biomarker can indicate a tissue state in the subjects spinal cord based on DTI of the subjects brain. The imaging biomarker is also capable of determining an efficacy of a treatment administered to a subjects spinal cord.
