T1 Recovery Is Predominantly Found in Black Holes and Is Associated with Clinical Improvement in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Quantitative MR imaging parameters help to evaluate disease progression in multiple sclerosis and increase correlation with clinical disability. We therefore hypothesized that T1 values might be a marker for ongoing tissue damage or even remyelination and may help increase clinical correlation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MR imaging was performed in 17 patients with… Read more »

Pattern of gray matter volumes related to retinal thickness and its association with cognitive function in relapsing-remitting MS.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

BACKGROUND: Neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) may be investigated in the visual system as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows examining structural integrity in detail. The association between thickness of retinal layers and focal cortical volumes beyond the primary visual system has not been thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE: o investigate the association… Read more »
