Direct MRI detection of impending plaque development in multiple sclerosis
OBJECTIVES To detect and localize MRI signal changes prior to the parenchymal contrast enhancement that classically defines the radiologic onset of the developing white matter lesion in multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS We reviewed 308 high-resolution (≤1 mm(3) voxels) MRI scans at 3T and 7T in 29 patients with active MS. The presence of pre-parenchymal enhancement abnormalities before the app...
متن کاملTumefactive multiple sclerosis plaque.
W e present a case of a large solitary demyelinating plaque in the brain masquerading as tumour. A 34 year old healthy woman presented with sudden onset of left hemiparesis. Subsequent MRI of the brain showed a single large 2.5 cm right sided enhancing lesion within the white matter of the parietal lobe (fig 1). The lesion appeared to originate from the corpus callosum. Diffusion weighted and g...
متن کاملSynthetic MRI in the Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Plaques.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Synthetic MR imaging enables the creation of various contrast-weighted images including double inversion recovery and phase-sensitive inversion recovery from a single MR imaging quantification scan. Here, we assessed whether synthetic MR imaging is suitable for detecting MS plaques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Quantitative and conventional MR imaging data on 12 patients with ...
متن کاملImproving Multiple Sclerosis Plaque Detection Using a Semiautomated Assistive Approach.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Treating MS with disease-modifying drugs relies on accurate MR imaging follow-up to determine the treatment effect. We aimed to develop and validate a semiautomated software platform to facilitate detection of new lesions and improved lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed VisTarsier to assist manual comparison of volumetric FLAIR sequences by using interstudy regi...
متن کاملDiffusion MRI in multiple sclerosis.
Diffusion imaging is a quantitative, MR-based technique potentially useful for the study of multiple sclerosis (MS), due to its increased pathologic specificity over conventional MRI and its ability to assess in vivo the presence of tissue damage occurring outside T2-visible lesions, i.e., in the so-called normal-appearing white and gray matter. The present review aims at critically summarizing...
