Paramagnetic rim lesions lead to pronounced diffuse periplaque white matter damage in multiple sclerosis
Background: Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) are an imaging biomarker in multiple sclerosis (MS), associated with a more severe disease. Objectives: To determine quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics of PRLs, lesions with diffuse susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI)-hypointense signa...

Zusammenfassung: | Background:
Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) are an imaging biomarker in multiple sclerosis (MS), associated with a more severe disease.
Objectives:
To determine quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics of PRLs, lesions with diffuse susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI)-hypointense signal (DSHLs) and SWI-isointense lesions (SILs), their surrounding periplaque area (PPA) and the normal-appearing white matter (NAWM).
Methods:
In a cross-sectional study, quantitative MRI metrics were measured in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) using the multi-dynamic multi-echo (MDME) sequence post-processing software “SyMRI.”
Results:
In 30 pwMS, 59 PRLs, 74 DSHLs, and 107 SILs were identified. Beside longer T1 relaxation times of PRLs compared to DSHLs and SILs (2030.5 (1519–2540) vs 1615.8 (1403.3–1953.5) vs 1199.5 (1089.6–1334.6), both p |
