Comparative StudyAnalysis of normal-appearing white matter in multiple sclerosis: comparison of diffusion tensor MR imaging and magnetization transfer imaging.
Our purpose was to compare diffusion tensor MR and magnetization transfer imaging in assessing normal-appearing white matter (WM) regions in multiple sclerosis (MS). ⋯ In MS, diffusion tensor MR imaging can depict differences between WM regions that are not apparent on conventional MR images. Anisotropy measurements may be more sensitive than those of MTRs in detecting subtle abnormalities in PWM.
