Abstract	Background Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to quantitatively study the characteristics of the related spinal cord and nerve root compression parameters in patients with cervical spondylosis (CS), and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) was used to visualize the spinal cord and nerve root and analyze their relevance to clinical evaluation. Methods A total of 67 patients with CS and 30 healthy volunteers received 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging. Cervical DTI and DTT were performed in all the participants, where the b value of DTI was set at 800 s/mm2. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the spinal cord and cervical nerve roots were measured by using DTI. Patients with CS were scored according to the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) score. Results In all the participants, the spinal cord and cervical nerve roots were clearly visible by DTT. Compared to the healthy volunteers, the FA values were significantly decreased and ADC values were significantly increased in patients with CS. mJOA score was significantly correlated with the DTI index (ADC and FA) values. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis revealed that FA and ADC could identify mild, moderate, and severe CS. Conclusions DTI parameters of cervical spinal cord and nerve root compression are associated with the clinical evaluation of patients with CS and may be helpful in assessing the severity of CS.
