Core Tip Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers, specifically midsagittal tissue bridge dimensions measured at 1-month and 6-month post-injury, are emerging as strong predictors of neurological recovery in acute traumatic spinal cord injury. The preservation of tissue bridges is positively correlated with improved motor and sensory outcomes, while increased spinal canal compromise and lesion size are associated with poorer functional prognosis. These findings highlight the potential of magnetic resonance imaging for personalized prognostication and targeted rehabilitation planning in spinal cord injury.
