Field Gap

Under-studied area: Qualitative vs quantitative cord imaging

Over-represented in the literature

Binary T2 hyperintensity presence/absence is widely reported in DCM

Under-represented

Quantitative cord biomarkers (DTI, ratio, cross-section) with validated thresholds are under-developed

Why the gap exists

Presence/absence is trivially scored; quantitative metrics need standardized acquisition
