Editor’s Choice MR imaging–pathologic studies have reported that paramagnetic rims on 7T susceptibility-based MR imaging identify, in vivo, a subset of MS lesions with compartmentalized inflammation at the lesion edge and associated remyelination failure. High-resolution T2* and phase MR imaging
Editor’s Choice The authors compared WM lesions in a group of patients with multiple sclerosis and in a second group of positive controls with white matter lesions who did not have a diagnosis of MS. The presence of a rim
Editor’s Choice Twenty-five patients with relapsing-remitting MS and 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled in a prospective study with a protocol including anatomic imaging, standard magnetization transfer, and inhomogeneous magnetization transfer imaging. Magnetization transfer and inhomogeneous magnetization transfer ratios measured in
Editor’s Choice Fast macromolecular proton fraction mapping is a recent quantitative MR imaging method for myelin assessment. Macromolecular proton fraction and T2* maps were obtained from 12 healthy controls, 18 patients with relapsing-remitting MS, and 12 patients with secondary-progressive MS
Editor’s Choice Twenty-three patients with relapsing-remitting MS underwent both conventional 3D-FLAIR and compressed sensing 3D-FLAIR on a 3T scanner (reduction in scan time 1 minute 25 seconds, 27%; compressed sensing factor of 1.3). Two blinded readers independently evaluated both conventional
Editor’s Choice Brain atrophy outcomes of 590 patients were analyzed by the percentage brain volume change measured by structural image evaluation with normalization of atrophy on 2D-T1WI and 3D-T1WI and the percentage lateral ventricle volume change, measured by VIENA on

Editor’s Choice December 2013 (3 of 3) The results of venous sonography, contrast-enhanced MRI, and MR venography in 26 pediatric patients with MS were compared with controls and 13 young adults with pediatric-onset MS. The authors concluded that chronic cerebrospinal
