Owing to a lack of disease-specific tests, diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) requires numerous, often invasive, investigations. In a new prospective study, Mistry et al . report that visualization of central veins in brain lesions using MRI is a sensitive method to predict MS. 29 ...

To assess correlation between brain lesions and clinical status with 1.5T and 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).METHODSBrain MRI fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) sequences were performed in 32 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) sc...
Coronal fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI in a patient with multiple sclerosis demonstrates periventricular high–signal intensity lesions, which exhibit a typical distribution for multiple sclerosis. FLAIR MRI is a highly sensitive sequence for lesion detection, particularly supratentorially. ...
Detection of new Multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important as a marker of disease activity and as a potential surrogate for relapses. We propose an approach where sequential scans are jointly segmented, to provide a temporally consistent tissue segmentation whi...
MRI of the head of a 35-year-old man with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. MRI reveals multiple lesions with high T2 signal intensity and one large white matter lesion. These demyelinating lesions may sometimes mimic brain tumors because of the associated edema and inflammation. View Media...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).An MRI can show detailed pictures of the brain and spinal cord, and if there are any lesions, or scars. Lesions aren't always caused by MS. In order to diagnose MS, you must: Have damaged myelin in at least two...
MRI T2 shortening ('black T2') in multiple sclerosis: Frequency, location, and clinical correlation Abnormal iron deposition occurs in the brains of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and may cause MRI T2 shortening ('black T2'; BT2). The frequency, di... R Bakshi,ZA Shaikh,V Janardhan...
Between 30% and 50% of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) will experience memory problems, but the cause is uncertain. Brain lesions are the hallmark imaging sign used to diagnose MS and are often associated with memory dysfunction. However, increased MS brain lesions are not specific ...
