Role of MRI in multiple sclerosis I: inflammation and lesions.
Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can improve accuracy in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Metrics derived from conventional MRI are now routinely used to detect therapeutic effects and extend clinical observations. Hyperintense lesions on T2-weighted MRI scans are related primarily to increased water content and thus cannot distinguish between inflammation, edema, demyelin...
متن کاملSegmentation of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions using Quantitative MRI
Introduction: A fast and reliable method to quantitatively measure the absolute water content of the human brain in vivo has been recently developed [1,2,3]. Simultaneously, parameter maps of T1 and T2* can be acquired. These quantitative parameter maps are very sensitive for the detection of subtle pathological changes in a variety of neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Dur...
متن کامل[Approaches to segment multiple-sclerosis lesions on conventional brain MRI].
Different sets of criteria are currently used for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Some are based on clinical features, while others are related to imaging findings. Among the image processing systems, specific criteria include spatial dissemination of lesions in one image or their temporal dissemination in images acquired at different time points. In addition, the evolution of the les...
متن کاملBalo's Concentric Sclerosis with Acute Presentation and Co-Existing Multiple Sclerosis-Typical Lesions on MRI
Balo's disease also known as Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare demyelinating disorder which is characterized pathologically and radiologically by concentric rings of demyelinated and relatively myelin-preserved white matter. We describe the case of a 25-year-old female presenting with stroke-like symptoms who was diagnosed with BCS on MRI. At clinical onset, she also showed co-existin...
متن کاملMultiple Sclerosis : MRI and Clinical
Fifty-three consecutive patients with suspected multiple sclerosis were studied to determine if the extent of disease apparent on MRI correlated with the clinical severity of the disease. MRI images were evaluated and compared with an assessment of the patient's disability using three neurologic rating scales. The severity of the disease seen on MRI showed a strong statistically significant cor...
