Histology of the Spinal Cord

Relationship Between Regional Atherosclerosis and Adjacent Spinal Cord Histology

INTRODUCTION Scant data are available regarding ischemic insult to the spinal cord and the responsible blood supply. Therefore, we aimed to investigate a correlation between atherosclerosis of adjacent vessels and spinal cord ischemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 20 unembalmed adult cadavers, samples of the vertebral arteries and aorta were removed and the degree of atherosclerosis with subseque...

Diffusion tensor MR imaging and comparative histology of glioma engrafted in the rat spinal cord.

MR imaging using contrast material derived from the diffusion of tissue water was tested for its ability to provide a nondestructive histologic analysis of tumor morphology. An apparent diffusion tensor MR image of a glioma engrafted within a rat spinal cord was generated in which fiber orientation in three dimensions was displayed in color. This imaging method clearly separated tumor from host...

Multiexponential T2, magnetization transfer, and quantitative histology in white matter tracts of rat spinal cord.

Quantitative MRI measures of multiexponential T(2) relaxation and magnetization transfer were acquired from six samples of excised and fixed rat spinal cord and compared with quantitative histology. MRI and histology data were analyzed from six white matter tracts, each of which possessed unique microanatomic characteristics (axon diameter and myelin thickness, in particular) but a relatively c...
