Diffusion MRI in Multiple Sclerosis Neurol 65:1526-1532, Rovaris,M.,et al, 2005 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Although a significant relationship between diffusion-weighted MRI findings and MS clinical disability was not found in the earliest studies, with improved diffusion imaging technology correlations between diffusion abnormalities and MS clinical aspects are now emerging. However, the best acquisition and postprocessing strategies for MS studies remain a matter of debate and the contribution of newer and more sophisticated techniques to diffusion tensor MRI investigations in MS needs to be further evaluated. Although changes in diffusion MRI indices reflect a net loss of structural organization, at present we can only speculate on their possible pathologic substrates in the MS brain. Postmortem studies correlating diffusion findings with histophatology of patients with MS are, therefore, also warranted.
