Article Synopsis
- Spinal cord atrophy is an important measure for monitoring Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but it's less commonly imaged compared to the brain due to challenges in imaging techniques and time constraints.* -
- The study aimed to compare the spinal cord measurements from regular brain MRI scans with dedicated spinal cord MRI scans in both healthy individuals and those with MS.* -
- The results showed a strong correlation between spinal cord measurements from both imaging methods, suggesting that cross-sectional area from brain imaging can effectively estimate spinal cord atrophy.*
