Figure 4

Tractography rendered based on the DTI indices. Local variations in DTI indices along the nerve following injury (e–h) in the sciatic nerve of one the experimental animals. The tractography displayed lower FA (a,e), MD (b,f), RD (c,g), and (d,h) at the edge of the coil (a, solid arrow) in both injured and uninjured nerves. Marked variations in DTI measurements could be detected locally compared to the rest of the nerve (hollow arrow). Circles indicate positioning of ROIs. Bar = 10 mm.
