이 연구는 경부 척수를 평가하기 위해 MRI와 확산 텐서 이미징(DTI)을 사용하여 축삭 손상을 확인하는 방법을 보여줍니다. 이 접근법은 압박으로 인한 축삭 손상 부위를 나타낼 수 있는 물 확산 패턴의 시각화를 가능하게 합니다.
Quantitative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) enables objective assessment of axonal integrity in chronic spinal cord compression, providing actionable biomarkers for early discovery and translational research. By mapping fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, this approach supports mechanistic de-risking and predictive confidence at key inflection points in neurodegenerative and injury-focused pipelines. Integration of DTI-derived metrics enhances portfolio decision-making by clarifying structural pathology and supporting risk-adjusted advancement.
DTI-based spinal cord imaging fits within the continuum from early discovery through preclinical validation, providing quantitative endpoints for target validation, lead optimization, and translational research.
