Diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) is a powerful tool for investigating spinal cord injury (SCI), but has limited specificity for axonal damage, which is the most predictive feature of long‐term functional outcome. In this study, a technique designed to detect acute axonal injury, filter‐probe double diffusion encoding (FP‐DDE), is compared with standard DWI for predicting long‐term functional and cellular outcomes.
