Journal ArticleDOI
MRI criteria for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis: MAGNIMS consensus guidelines.
Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca,Olga Ciccarelli,Olga Ciccarelli,Nicola De Stefano,Nikos Evangelou,Ludwig Kappos,Alex Rovira,Jaume Sastre-Garriga,Mar Tintoré,Jette L. Frederiksen,Claudio Gasperini,Jacqueline Palace,Daniel S. Reich,Brenda Banwell,Xavier Montalban,Frederik Barkhof +16 more
TL;DR: State-of-the-art MRI findings in patients presenting with a clinically isolated syndrome were discussed in a MAGNIMS workshop, the goal of which was to provide an evidence-based and expert-opinion consensus on diagnostic MRI criteria modifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between pathological and MRI findings in multiple sclerosis
Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca,Frederik Barkhof,Wolfgang Brück,Jacqueline T. Chen,Giancarlo Comi,Gabriele C. DeLuca,Nicola De Stefano,Bradley J. Erickson,Nikos Evangelou,Franz Fazekas,Jeroen J. G. Geurts,Claudia F. Lucchinetti,David Miller,Daniel Pelletier,Bogdan F. Gh. Popescu,Hans Lassmann +16 more
TL;DR: A number of correlative pathological and MRI studies have helped to define in vivo the pathological substrates of MS in focal lesions and normal-appearing white matter, not only in the brain, but also in the spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and imaging assessment of cognitive dysfunction in multiple sclerosis
Maria A. Rocca,Maria Pia Amato,Nicola De Stefano,Christian Enzinger,Jeroen J. G. Geurts,Iris-K Penner,Alex Rovira,James F. Sumowski,Paola Valsasina,Massimo Filippi +9 more
TL;DR: Standardised neuropsychological tests that are easy to administer and sensitive to disease-related abnormalities are needed to gain a better understanding of the factors affecting cognitive performance in patients with MS than exists at present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence-based guidelines: MAGNIMS consensus guidelines on the use of MRI in multiple sclerosis--establishing disease prognosis and monitoring patients
Mike P. Wattjes,Alex Rovira,David Miller,Tarek A. Yousry,Maria Pia Sormani,Nicola De Stefano,Mar Tintoré,Cristina Auger,Carmen Tur,Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca,Franz Fazekas,Ludwig Kappos,Chris H. Polman,Frederik Barkhof,Xavier Montalban +15 more
TL;DR: Recommendations on how and when to use MRI for disease monitoring are presented, and some promising MRI approaches that may be introduced into clinical practice in the near future are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetization transfer changes in the normal appearing white matter precede the appearance of enhancing lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis
TL;DR: It is suggested that changes in the NAWM of patients with MS occur before lesions becomes evident on conventional MRI scans.
