"Gradient and spin echo magnetic resonance imaging for the characterization of myelin health in multiple sclerosis"
Event Start:
2020-01-29T15:00:00
Event End:
2020-01-29T17:00:00
Event Information:
Departmental Doctoral Oral Examination
Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a pathologically complex, autoimmune disease that results in demyelination and neurodegeneration following an inflammatory-mediated event cascade. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been essential to study MS and is now a cornerstone of MS diagnosis and clinical decision making. However, typical clinical MRIs fail to capture the complexity of the disease, because they lack specificity to myelin and other pathological mechanisms influencing myelin health in MS.
