Changes in normal-appearing white matter precede development of white matter lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is unknown whether white matter lesions (WML) develop abruptly in previously normal brain areas, or whether tissue changes are already present before WML become apparent on MRI. We therefore investigated whether development of WML is preceded by quantifiable changes in normal-appearing white matter (NAWM). METHODS In 689 participants from the general population (mean...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer changes in the normal appearing white matter precede the appearance of enhancing lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Serial monthly magnetization transfer (MT) imaging was performed to evaluate whether a change of the normal appearing white matter (NAWM), which precedes the appearance of enhancing lesions, is seen in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Every 4 weeks for 3 months, 10 patients with relapsing-remitting MS were scanned with a T1-weighted sequence, 20 minutes after injection with 0.3 mmol/kg ga...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Structural Changes in MS Plaques and Normal Appearing White Matter Using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging (MTI)
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), affecting mostly young people at a mean age of 30 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most specific and sensitive methods in diagnosing and detecting the evolution of multiple sclerosis disease. But it does not have the ability to differentiate between distinct histopathologic...
متن کاملNormal-appearing white matter changes vary with distance to lesions in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease processes in normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) may be different close to MR-visible lesions than farther from these lesions. We aimed to investigate the relationship of NAWM changes to the distance to the lesions. METHODS We measured B(1)-corrected T1 and magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) maps in 63 patients with MS (11 primary progre...
متن کاملH magnetic resonance spectroscopy of chronic cerebral white matter lesions and normal appearing white matter in multiple sclerosis
Objectives—To test the hypothesis that irrecoverable neurological deficit in multiple sclerosis is associated with axonal loss. Methods—H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was carried out in a group of patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis (n=31). Using this technique, the apparent concentration of NA ([NA] the sum of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), a neuronal marker, and N-acetyla...
