Cervical Cord T1-weighted Hypointense Lesions at MR Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis: Relationship to Cord Atrophy and Disability

Purpose To characterize the spatial distribution of cervical cord T1-weighted hypointense lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and analyze their association with cord atrophy and disability. Materials and Methods For this prospective study that took place between 2014 and 2016, 3.0-T high-resolution T1-weighted cervical cord magnetic resonance (MR) images and clinical evaluations were obtained from 82 patients with...
