Medical image acquisition devices provide a vast amount of anatomical and functional
information, which facilitate and improve diagnosis and patient treatment, especially when …

White matter lesions, commonly seen on MRIs of elderly people, are related to various
geriatric disorders, including cerebrovascular diseases, cardiovascular diseases, dementia …

MR offers by far the most sensitive technique for detecting multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions
and has proved to be an important paraclinical tool for diagnosing MS and monitoring …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To prospectively determine the sensitivity in the detection
of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions by using double inversion recovery (DIR), fluid-attenuated …

Background Diffuse abnormalities in the white matter (WM), ie, the so-called diffusely
abnormal WM (DAWM), as observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may contribute …

Objectives We used an optimized echo-planar pulse sequence for isotropically weighted
diffusion imaging (1) to measure mean diffusivity (D) in lesions and normal-appearing white …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Higher magnetic field strengths and continuous
improvement of high-resolution imaging in multiple sclerosis (MS) are expected to provide …

Bias field in medical images is an undesirable artifact primarily arises from the improper
image acquisition process or the specific properties of the imaged object. This artifact can be …

OBJECTIVES To assess (a) whether the changes in the normal appearing brain tissue
(NABT), as revealed by magnetisation transfer (MT) histogram analysis, correlates with …

Objective: To compare diffusion characteristics of MS lesions, normal-appearing white
matter (NAWM) from patients, and normal white matter from control subjects, and to …
