The authors conclude, “New developments in volumetric imaging have the potential to improve sensitivity as well as specificity in detecting and hence monitoring disease-related CNS volume changes in MS”
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:
Volumetric analysis of brain imaging has emerged as a standard approach used in clinical research, e.g., in the field of multiple sclerosis (MS), but its application in individual disease course monitoring is still hampered by biological and technical limitations. This review summarizes novel developments in volumetric imaging on the road towards clinical application to eventually monitor treatment response in patients with MS.
