Similar whole cervical cord (levels C1-C5) parameters were obtained using either protocol, and inter-subject variation was low, however in order to investigate tissue-specific cord parameters the dedicated cord protocol with higher in-plane resolution would be desirable.}, url = {http://archive.ismrm.org/2018/0671.html}, author = {Samson, R and Battiston, M and Seif, M and Cohen-Adad, J and Freund, P and Gandini Wheeler-Kingshott, C} }
