MRI can replace painful spinal tap to diagnose MS more quickly, according to a new study Date: May 20, 2025 Source: University of Nottingham Summary: Experts have demonstrated that multiple ...

Emerging MRI techniques for assessing spinal cord lesions, such as diffusion tensor imaging, have great potential to improve the diagnosis and management of spinal pathologies, including MS.

Experts from the University of Nottingham have proven that multiple sclerosis (MS) can successfully be diagnosed using an MRI scan, meaning patients no longer need to undergo a painful lumbar ...

Spinal cord MRI suggests that grey matter atrophy in the thoracic cord is an important source of disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Researchers find surviving sensory nerve connections in areas of no sensation in 50% of people living with complete thoracic spinal cord injuries.

The scout MRI helped identify some mild scoliosis and confirmed the presence of 14 thoracic vertebrae, counting from the cervical spine down, according to Young and colleagues.

A Vanderbilt University Medical Center-led research team has shown that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect changes in resting-state spinal cord function in patients with multiple ...

In this instance, the patient had a history of biopsy-proven temporal arteritis treated with prednisone, and a thoracic aortic aneurysm that was followed by echocardiography.

Even in the absence of white matter atrophy, reduction in spinal cord gray matter is detectable just 1 year after first symptoms of multiple sclerosis, say investigators.
