MRI-based diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) have been devised for use in adult populations, but diagnosis of MS in children remains a challenge. To address this issue, a new study attempts to identify MRI characteristics that predict development of MS in children with acute ...
New magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) research shows that changes in brain blood flow associated with vein abnormalities are not specific for multiple sclerosis (MS) and do not contribute to its severity, despite what some researchers have speculated. Results of the research are published online in ...
MRI: magnetic resonance imaging MS: multiple sclerosis NMO: neuromyelitis optica OB: oligoclonal band OSMS: optic-spinal form of multiple sclerosis SEP: somatosensory evoked potential VEP: visual evoked potential.References Osoegawa M, Kira J, Fukazawa T, Fujihara K, Kikuchi S, Matsui M...
Autonomic nervous system disturbances such as pupillary abnormalities have rarely been evaluated in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, pupillary impairment is not uncommon in MS and its origin is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate pupillary disturbances in MS and to try to ...
Doctors may use MRI to help make a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. (Photo Credit: Cavan Images/Getty Images) McDonald Criteria for MS The McDonald criteria, named for neurologist Ian McDonald, is a set of measures doctors follow to help them diagnose MS more accurately and quickly. First publ...
Brain MRI in late-onset multiple sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) with clinical onset after 50 years of age is unusual (between 1 and 6%) and is frequently misdiagnosed. Furthermore, brain magne... JD Seze,S Delalande,E Michelin,... - 《European Journal of Neurology》 被引量: 10发表...
Currently, patients with clinically isolated syn- drome (CIS) and brain lesions on MRI sugges- tive of multiple sclerosis (MS), are offered a con- firmatory MRI scan after 6 months. Researchers in Italy have found, however, that conversion to a diagnosis of MS based on MRI can be made...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be divided into four phenotypes based on clinical evolution. The pathophysiological boundaries of these phenotypes are unclear, limiting treatment stratification. Machine learning can identify groups with similar features usin
MRI provides a very sensitive reflection of the histopathological changes in multiple sclerosis. Many short-term studies fail to appreciate the relationship between MRI and clinical findings, although such shortcomings might be argued to reflect a weakness of clinical measures, rather than of MRI.关键...
MRI is the technique of choice for the diagnosis ofmultiple sclerosisand shows occult disease in 80% of affected individuals at the time of first presentation (Figure 10–1). The finding of three or morewhite matter lesionson T2-weighted MRI, especially if one of these lesions is in the pe...
