Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers precise brain atrophy measurement for tracking neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS). This technique is crucial for monitoring disease progression and treatment effectiveness in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neurology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Brain atrophy measurement using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has advanced significantly in the past decade.
  • Increased interest in brain atrophy as a biomarker for neurological disease progression, particularly in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review MRI-based quantitative measures of brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis (MS) studies.
  • To discuss the clinical importance and future applications of brain atrophy assessment in MS.
  • To highlight MRI's role in understanding MS pathology and progression.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for assessing brain volumes.
  • Analysis of studies utilizing quantitative MRI-based brain atrophy measures in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Main Results:

  • MRI provides sensitive and reproducible assessments of brain volumes, enabling accurate brain atrophy measurement.
  • Brain atrophy measurement by MRI is precise and accurate, despite existing challenges.
  • MRI-based brain atrophy is a promising in vivo measure of neuroaxonal degeneration in MS.

Conclusions:

  • MRI-based brain atrophy measurement is a reliable indicator for assessing neuroaxonal degeneration in MS.
  • This technique holds significant potential for monitoring disease progression and treatment efficacy in multiple sclerosis.
  • Continued development and application of MRI for brain atrophy assessment are recommended for future MS research and clinical practice.
