Three dimensional double inversion recovery is likely the most sensitive MR imaging
sequence for identifying demyelinating lesions of the optic nerve, capable of detecting …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In postmortem studies, subclinical optic nerve
demyelination is very common in patients with MS but radiologic demonstration is difficult …

In this article I review the last 10 years of progress in the imaging of the optic nerve with a
particular focus on applications to multiple sclerosis (MS). Development of magnetic …

Conventional MR imaging is, at present, the most important paraclinical modality for
assessing the risk of MS in patients with acute demyelinating ON and for monitoring the …

The MR imaging-based assessment of the optic nerve in optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis
provides information that is complementary to clinical and electrophysiological methods. The …

Objectives• Typical optic neuritis (ON) is common in the setting of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
and a frequent first clinical occurrence in young patients¹. Magnetic Resonance Imaging …

Although multiple sclerosis (MS) frequently involves the optic nerves, imaging this structure
is not yet performed routinely in clinical practice. The recent improvement of magnetic …

Magnetic resonance imaging of the optic nerve and spinal cord in multiple sclerosis has
advanced considerably in the past decade. It is possible to reliably detect intrinsic optic …

Objective: The aim of our study is to investigate the detection of accumulated optic nerve
lesions by using double inversion recovery (DIR) technique in a Japanese cohort of multiple …

Optic neuritis (ON) is known as a symptom of a number of diseases (see table 1), but is most
frequently seen in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). If ON of unknown origin (see table 2) …
