Reproducibility and Evolution of Diffusion MRI Measurements within the Cervical Spinal Cord in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
, 2021 In Multiple Sclerosis (MS), there is a large discrepancy between the clinical observations and how the pathology is exhibited on brain images, this is known as the clinical-radiological paradox (CRP). One of the hypotheses is that the clinical deficit may be more related to the spinal cord damage than the number or location of lesions in the brain ...
