Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging detects cortical and juxtacortical multiple sclerosis lesions.
BACKGROUND Autopsy studies showed cortical and juxtacortical multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) is an advanced magnetic resonance imaging sequence that reveals tissue T2 prolongation with cerebrospinal fluid suppression, allowing detection of superficial brain lesions. OBJECTIVES To assess FLAIR, T1-weighted, and T2-weighted images for detecting lesio...
متن کاملDetection of cortical inflammatory lesions by double inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging in patients with multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND A significant inflammatory pathologic disorder in the cortex of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been demonstrated by ex vivo studies. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency, time of appearance, and clinical relevance of intracortical lesions (ICLs) in MS in vivo. DESIGN Double inversion recovery sequence study. SETTING Multiple Sclerosis Centre of the Veneto Region. Pat...
متن کاملMemory dysfunction in multiple sclerosis corresponds to juxtacortical lesion load on fast fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery MR images.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging is a sensitive diagnostic tool and paraclinical marker of disease activity and prognosis in multiple sclerosis (MS), yet the role of MR imaging of MS is controversial. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between cognitive function and MS lesion size and position, as shown on comparative images from conventional spin-echo (CSE) and fast fluid-...
متن کاملMultiple Sclerosis Lesions Segmentation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging using Ensemble Support Vector Machine (ESVM)
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) syndrome is a type of Immune-Mediated disorder in the central nervous system (CNS) which destroys myelin sheaths, and results in plaque (lesion) formation in the brain. From the clinical point of view, investigating and monitoring information such as position, volume, number, and changes of these plaques are integral parts of the controlling process this dise...
متن کاملJuxtacortical Lesions and Cortical Thinning in Multiple Sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The role of juxtacortical lesions in brain volume loss in multiple sclerosis has not been fully clarified. The aim of this study was to explore the role of juxtacortical lesions on cortical atrophy and to investigate whether the presence of juxtacortical lesions is related to local cortical thinning in the early stages of MS. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 131 patient...
