The expert panel that formulated the 2017 McDonald criteria acknowledged that the current criteria “were not developed to differentiate MS from other conditions” but rather to
Fellows’ Journal Club In this technical report, the authors used MR myelography to demonstrate the feasibility of T1 mapping to quantify contrast concentration to analyze glymphatic flow in man. There is increasing interest in its use as a biomarker and
Editor’s Choice The authors analyzed the accuracy of gadolinium SWI for detecting the imaging evidence of active inflammation on MS plaques when a BBB dysfunction was demonstrated by a focal gadolinium-enhanced lesion and compared this technique with gadolinium-enhanced T1 spin-echo

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors evaluated tumor cell density using a transfer learning method that generates individualized patient models, grounded in the wealth of population data, while also detecting and adjusting for interpatient variabilities based on each patient’s own histologic
Editor’s Choice The authors applied an optimized TSE T2 sequence to washed postmortem brain samples to reveal exquisite and reproducible brain stem anatomic MR imaging contrast comparable with histologic atlases. Direct TSE MR imaging sequence discrimination of brain stem anatomy
