“…First, it has been previously reported that the decrease in section thickness (ie, of the partial volume effect) is strongly associated with increased lesion detection. [11][12][13] Second, 3D images can be registered more accurately,…”

“…Notwithstanding the above reservations, it is recognized that certain imaging sequences can improve the detection of NL load in MS patients. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Among these sequence is the T 1 based three-dimensional inversion recovery spoiled gradientrecalled-echo (3D-IRSPGR). 14 A number of factors make it important to disclose and quantify NLs in MS patients.…”

“…An additional method is the measurement of the brain volume to detect total atrophy and brain parenchymal fraction (BPF) [18, 19] or using the fractioned measurement of gray and white matter volumes [20]. The presence of cortical lesions has also been evaluated [21, 22]. Monitoring has been performed using imaging with magnetization transfer [23] and magnetic resonance spectroscopy [24].…”

Aims: The objective was to correlate the change in the lesion load (LL) and brain atrophy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) with progression of clinical disability, represented by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), and to test if stratification of patients according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) criteria can increase the predictive ability of MRI for MS clinical development. Methods: 181 patients with clinically definite relapsing-remitting MS underwent MRI for a period of up to 5 years. Grouping of patients according to the LL value at the study entry revealed a substantial increase in the Spearman rank correlation coefficient R. Results: For the low LL cohort of patients, we found a statistically significant correlation (R up to –0.71 with p < 0.01) of a later increase in the EDSS score (years 4 and 5) with increased brain atrophy in the first 2 years. For the high LL group, we found a statistically significant correlation (R up to 0.72 with p < 0.01) of a later increase in the EDSS score (years 4 and 5) with an increase in the LL value in the first year. Conclusions: We conclude that stratification of patients according to the MRI criterion (LL) can increase the predictive ability of MRI.
