Architectural configuration and microstructural properties of the sacral plexus: A diffusion tensor MRI and fiber tractography study

► Diffusion tensor MRI and fiber tractography are used to investigate the nerves of the sacral plexus. ► Nerve pathways located at the lumbosacral L5-S1 level are characterized with DTI metrics for ten healthy volunteers. ► Clinical feasibility of DTI and tractography in a child having spina bifida and neurogenic bladder dysfunction is demonstrated.
