Ultrahigh field MRI in clinical neuroimmunology: a potential contribution to improved diagnostics and personalised disease management

Abstract: Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1.5 Tesla (T) is limited by modest spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), impeding the identification and classification of inflammatory central nervous system changes in current clinical practice. Gaining from enhanced susceptibility effects and improved SNR, ultrahigh field MRI at 7 T depicts inflammatory brain lesions in great detail. This review summarises recent reports on 7 T MRI in neuroinflammatory diseases and addresses the question as to w… Show more

“…More than 35.000 7.0 Tesla MR research examinations (1) have already been performed globally, producing valuable data that indicate the value of ultrahigh fields (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Even if these instruments do not become standard tools in the everyday clinical setting in the very near future, the invaluable new insights they are providing into (patho)physiological processes will be helpful to patients everywhere.…”

“…Thus, 7 T MRI has improved the detection and morphological characterization of neuroinflammatory brain lesions [2123]. Most importantly, a small venous vessel is often detectable within the center of MS lesions by using gradient echo MR techniques at 7 T [2428], facilitating the distinction to other CNS diseases such as neuromyelitis optica [29, 30] and Susac syndrome [31].…”

“…Картина, выявляемая при МРТ головного мозга у больных СС, во многом напоминает изменения при РС, наблюдаются множественные очаги, расположенные перивентрикулярно, в глубоком белом веществе головного мозга и мозолистом теле. Однако, в отличие от РС, при СС поражается центральная часть мозолистого тела и формируются типичные очаговые изменения, которые при Т2-ВИ МРТ напоминают «жемчужное ожерелье» или «снежки» (snow-ball), как в представленном клиническом наблюдении, что считают патогномоничным для СС [3,8,13,14].…”

“…В поздней стадии СС может присоединяться атрофия мозолистого тела. Кроме того, для СС характерны очаги в базальных ганглиях, в 30% случаев при Т1-ВИ МРТ выявляют интенсивное накопление контраста в оболочках [3,13]. Описано вовлечение спинного мозга на уровне шейного отдела позвоночника [15].…”
