    AbstractDiffusion weighted imaging (DWI) has developed into a powerful tool for the evaluation of spine tumors, particularly for the assessment of vertebral marrow lesions and intramedullary tumors. Advances in magnetic resonance techniques have improved the quality of spine DWI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in recent years, with increased reproducibility and utilization. DTI, with quantitative parameters such as fractional anisotropy and qualitative visual assessment of nerve fiber tracts, can play a valuable role in the evaluation and surgical planning of spinal cord tumors. These widely available techniques can be used to enhance the diagnostic evaluation of spinal tumors.Published by Elsevier Inc.
