NAA is a Marker of Disability in Secondary-Progressive MS: A Proton MR Spectroscopic Imaging Study

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The secondary progressive phase of multiple sclerosis is characterised by disability progression due to processes that lead to neurodegeneration. Surrogate markers such as those derived from MRI are beneficial in understanding the pathophysiology that drives disease progression and its relationship to clinical disability. We undertook a 1H-MRS imaging study in a large secondary progressive MS (SPMS) cohort, to examine whether metabolic markers of brain injury are associated with measure… Show more

“…Future multimodal studies using DWI and rs-fMRI can test the predictions of the ‘network collapse’ model further and to develop this or new models as needed to better characterise progression and the influence of pathology in MS brains, in order to develop clinically useful disease markers. In addition, there is evidence of physiological abnormalities in MS that are associated with cognitive dysfunction, such as cerebral hypoperfusion and sodium accumulation in the grey and white matter (8688), and additional proton spectroscopic changes (89). Considering how these are related to network changes can help us understand the mechanisms of network abnormalities and aid in the search for a biomarker of cognitive impairment.…”

“…1,[4][5][6]37 There have been several multivoxel 1 H-MRSI studies that have employed data analysis pipelines including automatic and manual data quality control, chemical shift correction, tissue fraction calculation, metabolite map generation and registration onto common brain atlases, and ROI analysis. 18,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44] However, a standardized data analysis software has not yet been developed that can execute all these steps for the analysis of 3D 1 H-MRSI data. This study presents Oryx-MRSI, which is an open-source MATLAB-based end-toend pipeline for complementary MRSI data analysis after data quantification.…”
