Magnetic resonance imaging and MR spectroscopy are important tools in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with suspected motor neuron disease. Further investigation is needed to determine and to compare the utility of various neuroimaging markers for diagnosis and disease progression [112]. Newer MR tools, such as diffusion tensor imaging, magnetization transfer imaging, and functional MR imaging, have substantial promise as scientific and clinical tools in this ongoing endeavor.
磁共振成像和磁共振波谱是疑似运动神经元病患者诊断评估中的重要工具。需要进一步研究以确定和比较各种神经影像标志物在诊断和疾病进展方面的效用[112]。更新的磁共振工具，如扩散张量成像、磁化传递成像和功能磁共振成像，在这一持续的研究中作为科学和临床工具具有很大的前景。
