Fig. 5From: A matched case-control study of early cervical spondylotic myelopathy based on diffusion magnetic resonance imagingDifference map of the parameters in adjacent uncompressed cervical spinal cord segments in patients with early CSM and volunteers. All differences were obtained by subtracting the values of the corresponding volunteers from those of the CSM patients. Panel a shows the dMRI parameter distribution of the uncompressed areas above and below the adjacent segments of CSM lesions; b shows the dMRI parameter distribution of the uncompressed areas above and below the adjacent segments of CSM lesions grouped according to ageBack to article page
