Advancement of functional MR imaging in multiple sclerosis
摘要
Abstract
One of the important clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS) is cognitive dysfunction. There is increasing evidence that the degree of cognitive dysfunction does not simply depend on the extent of tissue destruction, but rather represents a complex balance among tissue damage, tissue repair, and cortical reorganization in patients with MS. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and resting-state fMRI provides information regarding the extent and nature of neuroplasticity, which may contribute to the maintenance of normal performance despite scattered brain lesions. An altered recruitment of regions normally devoted to the performance of a given task and/or the recruitment of additional areas, which are not typically activated by healthy people for performing that given task, have been described in patients with MS, independent of their clinical phenotype when investigating the visual, cognitive, and motor systems. These functional changes have been related to the extent and severity of brain damage within and outside T2-visible lesions on conventional MR imaging and to the involvement of specific central nervous system (CNS) structures, including the spinal cord and the optic nerve. Brain functional changes have been shown to be dynamic over time, not only after an acute relapse, but also in clinically stable patients. This review will focus on the contribution of task functional MR imaging and resting-state functional MR imaging techniques in the evaluation of MS and provide an overview of functional MR imaging techniques with regard to current findings, clinical correlations, and future directions.关键词
