Overview
MRI
Brain MRI
- Abnormal bright signal intensities on the T2-weighted MRI images indicating demyelination of the white matter fibers and tracts.[1]
- Involvement of Corticospinal tracts is the most common finding in male patients whereas in females there is mild diffuse increase of signal intensity in the parieto occipital or frontal lobe white matter.[2]
Spinal Cord MRI
- Magnetization transfer-weighted (MTw) images shows signal hyperintensities in the lateral and dorsal columns.[3]
- Diffuse spinal cord atrophy, mainly in the thoracic and cervical regions. [2]
