Abstract Measures of spinal cord morphometry computed from magnetic resonance images serve as relevant prognostic biomarkers for a range of … (voir plus)spinal cord pathologies, including traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative diseases. However, interpreting these imaging biomarkers is difficult due to considerable intra- and inter-subject variability. Yet, there is no clear consensus on a normalization method that would help reduce this variability and more insights into the distribution of these morphometrics are needed. In this study, we computed a database of normative values for six commonly used measures of spinal cord morphometry: cross-sectional area, anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter, compression ratio, eccentricity, and solidity. Normative values were computed from a large open-access dataset of healthy adult volunteers (N = 203) and were brought to the common space of the PAM50 spinal cord template using a newly proposed normalization method based on linear interpolation. Compared to traditional image-based registration, the proposed normalization approach does not involve image transformations and, therefore, does not introduce distortions of spinal cord anatomy. This is a crucial consideration in preserving the integrity of the spinal cord anatomy in conditions such as spinal cord injury. This new morphometric database allows researchers to normalize based on sex and age, thereby minimizing inter-subject variability associated with demographic and biological factors. The proposed methodology is open-source and accessible through the Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT) v6.0 and higher.

Children with chronic conditions have greater health care needs than the general paediatric population but may not receive care that centres… (voir plus) their needs and preferences as identified by their families. Clinicians and researchers are interested in developing interventions to improve family‐centred care need information about the characteristics of existing interventions, their development and the domains of family‐centred care that they address. We conducted a scoping review that aimed to identify and characterize recent family‐centred interventions designed to improve experiences with care for children with chronic conditions.
