title: Spinal cord - MR of rodent models.
abstract: Different MR techniques, such as relaxation times, diffusion, perfusion, and spectroscopy have been employed to study rodent spinal cord. In this chapter, a description of these methods is given, along with examples of normal metrics that can be derived from the MR acquisitions, as well as examples of applications to pathology.
