MR image analysis in multiple sclerosis.
MR imaging is the ubiquitous imaging modality used for studying multiple sclerosis (MS). A variety of MR imaging protocols, including T2, spin density, T1-weighted, with and without gadolinium, and magnetization transfer imaging, have been used in studying MS. This article provides an overview of the techniques recently developed for quantifying the extent of MS through the application of MR imaging.
