Association of Age at Onset With Gray Matter Volume and White Matter Microstructural Abnormalities in People With Multiple Sclerosis.
Raffaello Bonacchi,Alessandro Meani,Elisabetta Pagani,Olga Marchesi,Andrea Falini,Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether age at onset influences brain gray matter volume (GMV) and white matter microstructural abnormalities in adult patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), given its influence on clinical phenotype and disease course.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting new lesion formation in multiple sclerosis: The relative contributions of monthly dual-echo and T1-weighted scans after triple-dose gadolinium
Massimo Filippi,G. Mastronardo,Maria A. Rocca,Ruggero Capra,Claudio Gasperini,Marco Rovaris,Stefano Bastianello,G. Comi +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that both dual-echo and postcontrast T1-weighted scans are useful to detect newly formed lesions in patients with MS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Perivascular Space Abnormalities in Neuromyelitis Optica
Laura Cacciaguerra,Antonio Carotenuto,Elisabetta Pagani,Damiano Mistri,Marta Radaelli,Vittorio Martinelli,Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca +7 more
TL;DR: Astrocytes outline the perivascular space (PVS) and regulate fluid exchange through the aquaporin‐4 water channel and it is hypothesized that neuromyelitis optica is an autoimmune astrocytopathy associated with PVS abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion tensor and magnetization transfer MR imaging of early-onset multiple sclerosis.
Maria A. Rocca,Massimo Filippi +1 more
TL;DR: Results obtained by the application of conventional and non-conventional MRI techniques to the assessment of patients with early-onset MS showed that the overall amount of CNS damage in these subjects is mild, compared to that typically detected in the adult-form of the disease.
