T2 Hypointensity in the Deep Gray Matter of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Arch Neurol 59:62-68, Bakshi,R.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Gray matter T2 hypointensity in MS is associated with brain atrophy and is a stronger predictor of disability and clinical course than are conventional MRI findings. While longitudinal studies are warranted, these results suggest that pathologic iron deposition is a surrogate marker of the destructive disease process.
