Abstract

Conventional MRI of the multiple sclerosis (MS) spinal cord offers low specificity to underlying pathological processes taking place. Quantitative MRI metrics able to characterize damage at the microstructural level are required. Of particular interest are those known to be sensitive to myelin content, which can be generated via various different contrast mechanisms. It is important to assess the specificity of such prospective myelin biomarkers to MS spinal cord pathology and validation studies comparing MRI with histological findings are essential for this purpose. Here a comparison of myelinsensitive quantitative MRI metrics measured in MS and healthy ex vivo cord are presented.
