摘要: Purpose To evaluate the ability of high-gradient-diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging by using gradient strengths up to 300 mT/m depict axonal disease in lesions and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) compare MR findings these those healthy control subjects. Materials Methods In this HIPAA-compliant institutional review board-approved prospective study which all subjects provided written informed consent, six relapsing-remitting MS underwent diffusion-weighted a range diffusion weightings performed 3-T human imager mT/m. A model intra-axonal, extra-axonal, free water was fitted obtain estimates axon diameter density. Differences density between NAWM were assessed nonparametric Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test, differences Mann-Whitney U test. Results showed increased mean (10.3 vs 7.9 μm genu, 10.4 9.3 body, 10.6 8.2 splenium; P < .05) decreased ([0.48 1.1] × 10(10)/m(2) [0.40 0.70] [0.35 compared adjacent NAWM. No significant difference or detected Conclusion High-gradient-diffusion can be used characterize MS, results that agree known trends from neuropathologic data showing when (©) RSNA, 2016 Online supplemental material is available for article.
