Journal ArticleDOI
MRI aspects of the inflammatory phase of multiple sclerosis
Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca +1 more
TL;DR: The application of these MR techniques to the study of early RRMS is likely to improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of MS and the ability to assess the efficacy of experimental treatments.
Journal Article
Magnetic resonance imaging of grey matter damage in people with MS.
TL;DR: How conventional and modern imaging-based techniques have quantified GM damage in MS, in terms of focal lesions, diffuse tissue abnormalities and irreversible tissue loss is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of body segment position during in-phase and antiphase hand and foot movements: A kinematic and functional MRI study
Maria A. Rocca,Roberto Gatti,Federica Agosta,Paola Tortorella,Elisa Riboldi,Paola Broglia,Massimo Filippi +6 more
TL;DR: This study combined kinematic and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis to investigate the brain cortical and subcortical areas involved in interlimb coordination and the influence of direction of movement and of body segment position on the activity of those areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic gray matter volume changes in pediatric multiple sclerosis: A 3.5 year MRI study
Ermelinda De Meo,Alessandro Meani,Lucia Moiola,Angelo Ghezzi,Pierangelo Veggiotti,Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca +6 more
TL;DR: Impaired GM maturation occurs in pediatric patients with MS, which is only partially driven by WM inflammation, suggesting that early neurodegenerative phenomena contribute to disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between characteristics of carotid atherosclerotic plaques and brain white matter hyperintensities in asymptomatic patients
Enrico Ammirati,Francesco Moroni,Marco Magnoni,Maria A. Rocca,Roberta Messina,Nicoletta Anzalone,Costantino De Filippis,Isabella Scotti,Francesca Besana,Pietro Spagnolo,Ornella Rimoldi,Roberto Chiesa,Andrea Falini,Massimo Filippi,Paolo G. Camici +14 more
TL;DR: In asymptomatic patients with carotid plaques <70%, a higher burden of WMHs is associated with history of resistant hypertension that could be the expression of microvascular damage.
