Multicenter R-2* Mapping in the Healthy Brain
Stefan Ropele,Mike P. Wattjes,Christian Langkammer,Iris D. Kilsdonk,Wolter L. de Graaf,Jette L. Frederiksen,Dan Fuglø,Marios C. Yiannakas,Claudia A. M. Wheeler-Kingshott,Christian Enzinger,Maria A. Rocca,Till Sprenger,Michael Amman,Ludwig Kappos,Massimo Filippi,Alex Rovira,Olga Ciccarelli,Frederik Barkhof,Franz Fazekas +18 more
TL;DR: The aim of this multi‐center study was to assess the inter‐scanner and inter‐subject variability of R2* mapping and to investigate the relationship between brain volume and R2*, in specific structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overcoming the clinical - MR imaging paradox of multiple sclerosis: MR imaging data assessed with a random forest approach
K. Kacar,Maria A. Rocca,Massimiliano Copetti,Sara Sala,S. Mesaros,T. Stosić Opinćal,Domenico Caputo,M. Absinta,Jelena Drulovic,Vladimir S. Kostic,G. Comi,Massimo Filippi +11 more
TL;DR: Random forest analysis is a valuable approach, which might contribute to overcoming the MS clinical−MR imaging paradox, and damage of the WM fiber bundles subserving their function, measured by using DTI tractography had the highest classification power.
Journal ArticleDOI
The level of spinal cord involvement influences the pattern of movement-associated cortical recruitment in patients with isolated myelitis.
Maria A. Rocca,Federica Agosta,Vittorio Martinelli,Andrea Falini,Giancarlo Comi,Massimo Filippi +5 more
TL;DR: This "level-dependent" functional reorganization of the cortex is likely to have an adaptive role in limiting the clinical outcome of cord damage and should be considered when designing rehabilitation strategies for patients with isolated myelitis.

Accelerated brain ageing and disability in multiple sclerosis
James H. Cole,James H. Cole,Joel Raffel,Tim Friede,Arman Eshaghi,Arman Eshaghi,Wallace J Brownlee,D Chard,D Chard,N. De Stefano,Christian Enzinger,Lukas Pirpamer,Massimo Filippi,C. Gasperini,Maria A. Rocca,Ana Rovira,Serena Ruggieri,Jaume Sastre-Garriga,M. L. Stromillo,B.M.J. Uitdehaag,H. Vrenken,Frederik Barkhof,Frederik Barkhof,Frederik Barkhof,Richard Nicholas,Richard Nicholas,Olga Ciccarelli,Olga Ciccarelli +27 more
TL;DR: An older-appearing brain at baseline was associated with more rapid disability progression, suggesting ‘brain-age’ could be an individualised prognostic biomarker from a single, cross-sectional assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
MRI in multiple sclerosis: what is changing?
TL;DR: Advances in MRI technology are improving the diagnostic work-up and monitoring of MS, even in the earliest phases of the disease, and are providing MRI measures that are more specific and sensitive to disease pathological substrates.
