[Abstract] Objective: To discuss application of diffusion weighted imaging for early diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis in rabbits.Materials and Methods: Twenty-five healthy New Zealand rabbits were selected in this study. Firstly, animal models of spinal tuberculosis were made by operation, then they were examined with common MRI and DWI at 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks respectively. MRI manifestations and normal vertebral and pathological changes of vertebral ADC values were analyzed by using two groups of F-test.Results: The spinal tuberculosis model was successfully established in rabbits. Vertebral and intervertebral disc has not seen the apparently unusual at 4 week, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, but DWI appear unusual signal. The difference between the mean ADC values of normal vertebral and lesions vertebral was significance, ADC values of lesions vertebral was higher than normal vertebral. Pathological findings confirmed tuberculosis.Conclusions: Diffusion weighted imaging is useful to the early diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis.
