Effect of b Value on Imaging Quality for Diffusion Tensor Imaging of the Spinal Cord at Ultrahigh Field Strength

Objective. To explore the optimal b value setting for diffusion tensor imaging of rats’ spinal cord at ultrahigh field strength (7 T). Methods. Spinal cord diffusion tensor imaging data were collected from 14 rats (5 healthy, 9 spinal cord injured) with a series of b values (200, 300, 400, 500, 600,...
