Myelin mapping in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-related fatigue: a TBSS-MTR study of integrity
The research demonstrates that magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) imaging can effectively map microstructural changes in RA patients with fatigue, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for assessing white matter integrity in this condition. While it does not establish a direct causal relationship, it provides valuable insights into the role of MTR mapping in understanding brain alterations in patients with fatigue-related RA.
