“…Developments in both imaging acquisition and post-processing have improved the accuracy and reliability of tractography (Andersson and Sotiropoulos, 2016 ; Cohen-Adad et al, 2021a ; Dauleac et al, 2021 ), and have highlighted the potential key role of tractography, compared to classical anatomical MR sequences, for a wide range of spinal cord diseases [intramedullary tumors (Choudhri et al, 2014 ; Egger et al, 2016 ), vascular malformations (Dauleac et al, 2019a ), spinal cord injury (Chang et al, 2010 ; Rao et al, 2013 ), syringomyela (Dauleac et al, 2019b ), multiple sclerosis (Cruz et al, 2009 ; van Hecke et al, 2009 ), cervical myelopathy (Lee et al, 2011 )]. Spinal cord tractography is not currently possible in routine clinical practice because of the difficulties in producing tractograms in an accessible way, but more importantly, tridimensional renderings are not yet consistent with the anatomical truth (Dauleac et al, 2020 , 2021 ). Also, tractography results are strongly dependent upon the user who defines the parameters in all the steps of the imaging pipeline, from imaging acquisition to post-processing; this is of particular importance for the design of regions of interest (ROIs) and the elimination of spurious fibers (Roundy et al, 2012 ).…”
