a–d A 57 year old male patient. Neurologically, he was ASIA grade A after a car accident. a Sagittal T2-weighted MR image acquired at 1.5 T shows C6-7 traumatic disc herniation with abnormal spinal cord signal (white arrow). b Fiber tractography shows complete interruption of the cord nerve fibers at the level of cord injury(yellow arrow). c Sagittal color coded ADC map shows low ADC value at the injury level (1.28), above the injury level (0.928) and below the injury level (1.03). d Sagittal color coded FA map shows lower FA value at the injury level (0.388) than values above (0.730) and below (0.638) the injury level
