Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry Reveals Central Pontine Abnormalities in Clinically Asymptomatic Alcoholic Men
Alcohol Clin Exp Res 25:1206-1212, Sullivan,E.V. &Pfefferbaum,A., 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This CPM-like condition, manifest as prolonged T2, may occur with higher incidence than previously thought in clinically asymptomatic alcoholism and may contribute to neuropsychological compromise of initiation and production. Preclinical detection of abnormal pontine signal properties with MR relaxometry may identify patients at high risk for developing CPM.
