INsIDER: Imaging the Interplay Between Axonal Damage and Repair in Multiple Sclerosis
This project is to:
1. Quantify differences in axonal integrity and organization in aMS versus naPMS patients. 2. Quantify changes in axonal integrity and organization in aMS versus naPMS patients over a two-year period. 3. Validate the combination of imaging parameters that best differentiate aMS versus naPMS patients using histopathology.
Inclusion: Patients may be diagnosed with:; active RRMS (n=100): Relapsing-remitting course and > 1 clinical relapse and/or signs of MRI activity (> 1 Gd enhancing lesion) during the last year before study enrollment; non-active PMS (n=100): Progressive course (PPMS or SPMS) and no clinical relapses and/or signs of MRI activity during the last year before study enrollment; Age 18-80 years old; No other neurological or psychiatric disorder; Age 18-80 years old; No other neurological or psychiatric disorder.
Exclusion: Contraindication to MRI (eg, claustrophobia, metallic implants, pacemaker etc); Pregnancy; Inability to give consent.
