Evaluation of Periventricular Gradient Changes in Multiple Sclerosis, MOGAD, and NMOSD Using Synthetic MRI [Presidential Award Proceedings]
Objective/Background : Multiple sclerosis (MS) shows a gradient of periventricular white matter damage, especially close to the ventricles. Although evaluating this gradient has demonstrated its usefulness in understanding microstructural changes in MS, assessments have primarily used nonspecific imaging techniques, such as two-dimensional magnetization transfer ratio and T1 maps. This study examined the periventricular gradient of myelin content using myelin volume fraction (MVF) maps, axion volume fraction (AVF) maps, and g-ratio in healthy controls, relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), secondary progressive MS (SPMS), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD).
