    Computed Tomography (CT) revealed significant brain abnormalities in most multiple sclerosis patients. Cerebral atrophy was the most common finding, indicating widespread neurological damage in this patient cohort.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease.
    • Brain imaging is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring MS progression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of Computed Tomography (CT) in assessing brain changes in multiple sclerosis patients.
    • To identify common CT findings associated with MS.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-five patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis underwent brain Computed Tomography (CT) scans.
    • Image analysis focused on detecting cerebral atrophy, low attenuation plaques, and contrast enhancement.

    Main Results:

    • Computed Tomography (CT) scans were normal in 17% of patients.
    • Low attenuation plaques, indicative of MS lesions, were observed in 29% of cases.

  • Cerebral atrophy was a prevalent finding, present in 71% of the patients.
  • Contrast enhancement, suggesting active inflammation, was noted in 5% of patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computed Tomography (CT) can detect significant brain abnormalities in multiple sclerosis.
    • Cerebral atrophy is a common manifestation of MS observable via CT.
    • CT findings correlate with the pathological changes seen in multiple sclerosis.
