A Machine Learning Approach for Specification of Spinal Cord Injuries Using Fractional Anisotropy Values Obtained from Diffusion Tensor Images

Figure 1

Spinal cord image. In (b), yellow circle shows injured area. In (c) and (d), the color of each pixel means direction of water molecules in SC tissues. In the patient FA map, the direction is irregular because it includes disconnected part of nerves and water molecules cannot flow straight way.
