Core Tip	A rapid two-minute diffusion tensor imaging sequence enables cervical spinal cord tractography during routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Supsupin et al demonstrate that distinct fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity patterns reveal microstructural injury in contusion, metastasis, degenerative myelopathy, and multiple sclerosis – lesions that may appear less conspicuous on conventional MRI. Their work shows how tractography can support diagnosis, surgical planning, and longitudinal follow-up.
