To the Editor.—The recent discussion1of the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in multiple sclerosis that appeared inJAMAis somewhat misleading.While it is undoubtedly true that MRI may reveal many more lesions than the enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scan, there are instances where a...
Although the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis relies on the demonstration of disease dissemination in space and time, the exclusion of other neurological disorders is also essential. The limited specificity of abnormalities disclosed by MRI may increase the likelihood of diagnosis of multiple sclerosis 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...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that attacks myelinated axons in the central nervous system, destroying the myelin and the axon in variable degrees and producing significant physical disability within 20–25 years in more than 30% of patients. The hallmark of MS...
It is well known that the current classification of patients with benign multiple sclerosis (BMS), i.e., those with absent or minimal locomotor disability several years after disease onset, suffers from not having any prognostic value for the subsequent evolution of multiple sclerosis (MS). The...
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...
3D MRI in multiple sclerosis: a study of three sequences at 3 T. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of using 3D acquisition at 3 T for imaging patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Feasibility was... RJ Mills,CA Young,ETS Smith - 《British Journal of Radiology》...
What is multiple sclerosis (MS)? MS is a disease that leads to inflammation and damage to parts of your central nervous system (CNS). The CNS includes your brain, spinal cord, and nerves. MS causes your immune system to attack and destroy the coating (myelin) that covers your nerves. Th...
MRI in multiple sclerosis: current status and future prospects Many promising MRI approaches for research or clinical management of multiple sclerosis (MS) have recently emerged, or are under development or refinement... R Bakshi,AJ Thompson,MA Rocca,... - 《Lancet Neurology》 被引量: 525发表...
