MRI derived brain atrophy measures in Multiple Sclerosis
Purpose: To investigate whether MS atrophy can be assessed by SIENA and SIENAX software using other image types from MS research protocols than T1-weighted images without contrast agent, which are not always available. Method: We selected 46 MS patients with identical MRI protocols at two timepoints. We calculated normalized brain volume (NBV) using SIENAX, and percentage brain volume change (P...
متن کاملIntercenter agreement of brain atrophy measurement in multiple sclerosis patients using manually-edited SIENA and SIENAX.
PURPOSE To investigate intercenter agreement of brain volume (change) measurement in multiple sclerosis (MS) using structural image evaluation using normalization of atrophy (SIENA) and the cross-sectional version of SIENA (SIENAX) with additional manual editing to correct for inadequate brain extraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Baseline and follow-up T1-weighted MR images of 20 MS patients wer...
متن کاملCombining SIENA and SIENAx for improved quantification of grey and white matter atrophy
Introduction: The quantification of brain atrophy with MRI is vital for understanding the normal aging brain as well as understanding and treating people affected by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. Although several cross-sectional and longitudinal methods exist for the quantification of atrophy [1], SIENA and its cross-sectional counterpart SIENAx ...
متن کاملAgreement of MSmetrix with established methods for measuring cross-sectional and longitudinal brain atrophy
INTRODUCTION Despite the recognized importance of atrophy in multiple sclerosis (MS), methods for its quantification have been mostly restricted to the research domain. Recently, a CE labelled and FDA approved MS-specific atrophy quantification method, MSmetrix, has become commercially available. Here we perform a validation of MSmetrix against established methods in simulated and in vivo MRI d...
متن کاملReliable measurements of brain atrophy in individual patients with multiple sclerosis
INTRODUCTION As neurodegeneration is recognized as a major contributor to disability in multiple sclerosis (MS), brain atrophy quantification could have a high added value in clinical practice to assess treatment efficacy and disease progression, provided that it has a sufficiently low measurement error to draw meaningful conclusions for an individual patient. METHOD In this paper, we present...
