Quantification of Spinal Cord Injury Level Using Somatosensory Evoked Potentials

摘要：

This paper uses a modified correlation metricto study the somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) inrodents afflicted with spinal cord injury (SCI). It has been shown that specific features of the SEP signal area strong indicator of the integrity of the spinal pathway.The metric used in this paper exploits an adaptive templatetailored to specific features of interest in the SEP signal,thereby providing a more robust assessment of the level ofSCI compared to conventional metrics such as Pearsonscorrelation coefficient. Results are presented using actualSEP signals collected on rodents with various levels of SCI.
