Neuroimaging Research

KEY FINDING: SCI patients showed decreased GMV in the frontal, temporal, and insular cortices compared to healthy controls.

KEY FINDING: A patient developed contrast-induced spinal cord injury (CIS) following cerebral angiography using a nonionic contrast agent (Ioversol). This is a rare occurrence, as CIS is more commonly associated with ionic contrast agents.

KEY FINDING: Body height correlated moderately with brain gray matter volume and spinal cord white matter area.

KEY FINDING: CSA and LRW in the AIS A/B group were significantly lower than those in the TD group and the AIS C/D group, indicating spinal cord atrophy is related to the severity of the injury.

KEY FINDING: Individuals with SCI showed significantly delayed CVR in the right inferior parietal lobe compared to able-bodied controls.

KEY FINDING: Pediatric CSCI patients showed decreased cortical thickness in the right precentral gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, and posterior segment of the lateral sulcus compared to healthy controls.

KEY FINDING: Individuals with birth-related motor conditions exhibit unique central adaptation features compared to those with acquired conditions, such as nonsomatotopic presentation of involved muscles in the sensorimotor cortex.

KEY FINDING: EPISeg significantly improves spinal cord segmentation quality compared to existing methods.

KEY FINDING: Individuals with SCI-related neuropathic pain exhibited significantly reduced resting blood flow in the cerebellum (specifically Crus I/II), the rostral ventromedial medulla, and the left insular cortex compared to healthy controls.

KEY FINDING: Patients showed increased axonal dispersion in normal-appearing white matter, especially in the corpus callosum, along with axonal degeneration and sodium accumulation.
