Abstract：Nowadays, traditional MRI is the best tool for the diagnosis of spinal cord injury, which can clearly identify the spinal cord injury by detecting the morphological and signal changes. However, when traditional MRI detects the signal change, indicative of a serious myelo injury, it is too late for treatment. Magnetic diffusion imaging and magnetic susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) have values for the early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of spinal cord injury. In this paper, we reviewed the applications of DTI and SWI in the acute or chronic spinal cord injury and the research progress.
