Therapeutic target for external beam x-irradiation in experimental spinal cord injury.

CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that x-irradiation in a region rostral to the injury epicenter is optimal for recovery from SCI. This minimal target should be attractive for therapeutic application since it allows a greatly reduced target volume so that uninjured tissue is not needlessly irradiated.
