Diagnostic accuracy of semiautomatic lesion detection plus quantitative susceptibility mapping in the identification of new and enhancing multiple sclerosis lesions
Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel non-contrast brain MRI method based on semiautomatic lesion detection using T2w FLAIR subtraction image, the statistical detection of change (SDC) algorithm (T2w + SDC), and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). This method identifies new lesions and discriminates between enhancing and nonenhancing lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS). ...
متن کاملLesion Detection at Ultrahigh Field
Objectives 7T MRI has demonstrated new aspects of the pathological features of multiple sclerosis (MS) using T2*-weighted sequences. However a clinical multicontrast MRI protocol at 7 T has not yet been investigated. We evaluated the clinical value of 7T-MRI by investigating sensitivity of lesion detection compared with 3 T. Methods 38 MS patients and 8 healthy controls underwent multicontrast ...
متن کاملThe Optimization of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pulse Sequences in Order to Better Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Plaques
Background and objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive technique to detect multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques in central nervous system. In some cases, the patients who were suspected to MS, Whereas MRI images are normal, but whether patients don’t have MS plaques or MRI images are not enough optimized enough in order to show MS plaques? The aim of the current study is ...
متن کاملImaging of active multiple sclerosis plaques: efficiency of contrast-enhanced magnetization transfer subtraction technique.
PURPOSE T1-weighted (T1W) magnetic resonance images with magnetization transfer (MT) are widely used in the evaluation of multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques. We aimed to evaluate the contribution of the subtraction technique with MT in the detection of acute MS plaques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four patients during an MS attack were enrolled in the study. Axial T1W spin echo (SE) with MT, axi...
متن کاملPredicting long-term disability outcomes in patients with MS treated with teriflunomide in TEMSO
OBJECTIVE To predict long-term disability outcomes in TEMSO core (NCT00134563) and extension (NCT00803049) studies in patients with relapsing forms of MS treated with teriflunomide. METHODS A post hoc analysis was conducted in a subgroup of patients who received teriflunomide in the core study, had MRI and clinical relapse assessments at months 12 (n = 552) and 18, and entered the extension. ...
