We demonstrate a novel, reliable quantification method for spinal cord tissue segmentation in healthy controls and patients with MS and other neurologic disorders affecting the spinal cord. Patients with MS have reduced areas in specific spinal cord tissue compartments, which may be used as MS biomarkers.
