[Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance tomography in disseminated encephalomyelitis].
In 83 of 86 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRT) demonstrated lesions consistent with the clinical diagnosis. All the patients had either clinically typical MS oralaboratory-confirmed diagnosis of MS. The sensitivity of MRI is compared to those of computed tomographic (CT) scanning, evoked potential testing and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. The features of MS revealed by MRI are interpreted in terms of the macroscopic pathology and correlated with the clinical findings. The importance of particular findings (cystic appearance of lesions, spread of periventricular patches into the centrum semiovale) for the patients prognosis in stressed.
