BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Evidence is mounting that spinal cord atrophy significantly
correlates with disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The purpose of this work …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cervical cord atrophy has been associated with clinical
disability in multiple sclerosis and is proposed as an outcome measure of …

Background Several studies have shown a relationship between spinal cord atrophy and
clinical disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Objectives We examined the …

Purpose To determine whether spinal cord atrophy differs among disease subtypes in
multiple sclerosis (MS) and whether it offers diagnostic and clinical correlative information …

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To determine the interrelationships between MRI‐defined lesion
and atrophy measures of spinal cord involvement and brain involvement and their …

Background In multiple sclerosis (MS), recent work suggests that cervical cord atrophy is
more consistently correlated with physical disability than brain white matter lesion load and …

Purpose To (a) apply an active surface method to map the regional distribution of cord
atrophy across levels and sectors in a relatively large group of patients with multiple …

Objective We sought to characterize spinal cord atrophy along the entire spinal cord in the
major multiple sclerosis (MS) phenotypes, and evaluate its correlation with clinical disability …

Objective To characterize the distribution and regional evolution of cervical cord atrophy in
patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a multicenter dataset. Methods MRI and clinical …

In multiple sclerosis (MS), the spinal cord is a common area of involvement, and its
dysfunction is likely to be responsible for much of motor disability. It has been reported that …
