Christine Heales, PhD, works for the Department of Health and Care Professions, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at the University of Exeter, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To evaluate the ability of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), a perfusion-weighted imaging technique, to differentiate microcirculation changes in the spinal cord of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) compared with healthy individuals.
Methods: Fifteen healthy individuals and 15 individuals with MS underwent IVIM magnetic resonance (MR) imaging using a 3 T scanner with 2-D axial gradient recalled echo and 2-D axial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences. The MR images underwent segmentation to produce white matter and gray matter regions of interest.
