Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging is today the most versatile imaging method for characterization of multiple sclerosis (MS) in vivo, but clinical examinations lack sensitivity to capture changes in the tissue microstructure. Using a multi-dimensional microstructural imaging approach, we demonstrate how it is possible to obtain more specific and broader microstructural insights about the underlying pathology of MS. For this we use a comprehensive battery of conventional and novel diffusion weighted imaging and quantitative MRI sequences each capable of explaining different and complementary microstructural properties. This allows us to explore the underlying pathology of MS, which is normally only accessible with histology.
