BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Conventional imaging of ex-vivo brain at 1.5 T in multiple
sclerosis (MS) detects only a small fraction of the gray matter cerebral cortical lesions that …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In vivo detection of cortical lesions in patients with multiple
sclerosis (MS) by MR imaging is hampered by several factors. Among them is the low …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although MR spectroscopy and functional MR imaging of
the brain have been successful at 4 T, conventional fast spin-echo imaging of the brain at 4 …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our aims were the following: 1) to compare multicontrast
cortical lesion detection using 3T and 7T MR imaging, 2) to compare cortical lesion type …

Objective Cortical lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) are notoriously difficult to visualize with
standard MR imaging (MRI) techniques. However, the use of higher field-strengths with …

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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cortical lesions constitute a substantial part of the total
lesion load in multiple sclerosis (MS) brain. They have been related to neuropsychological …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cortical lesions are common and often extensive in
multiple sclerosis but are difficult to visualize by MRI, leaving important questions about their …

A prospective clinical study was performed in 32 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) to
evaluate the sensitivity of lesion detection and accuracy of lesion localization by neurologic …

Background In current clinical practice, T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is
commonly applied to quantify the accumulated multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion load, whereas …
