Early diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis by magnetic resonance: perfusion weighted imaging in a rabbit model

Abstract

Highlights 1. A rabbit spinal tuberculosis model was established. 2. Various parameters in the early MR-PWI analysis were different in two groups. 3. MR-PWI may provide valuable imaging evidence for diagnosis and treatment of spinal tuberculosis.
