OBJECTIVE
To assess whether water diffusivity in normal appearing brain tissue including white and gray matter of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients shown by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) differs from normal individuals.
MATERIAL AND METHOD
Conventional MRI and DWI were performed in 37 multiple sclerosis patients and 31 control subjects, matched for age and sex. Quantitative diffusivity values were obtained from variable locations of normal appearing white and gray matter from both hemispheres by using a standardized region of interest template. +/- 2. 9 x 10(-5) mm2/s and 85.90 x 10(-5) +/- 2.45 x 10(-5) mm2/s) than normal control subjects (NAWM: 73.46 x 10(-5) +/- 1.77 x 10(-5) mm2/s and NAGM: 82.90 x 10(-5) +/- 0.91 x 10(-5) mm2/s) with p-value < 0.0001.
CONCLUSION
Water diffusivity was higher in all NAWM regions, deep gray matter regions, and some cortical gray matter region of MS patients than normal controls. DWI can quantify the presence and extent of MRI-undetectable pathology in the normal appearing brain tissue that were the disease burden.
目的
评估弥散加权成像（DWI）显示的多发性硬化（MS）患者正常脑组织（包括白质和灰质）中的水扩散率是否与正常个体不同。
材料与方法
对37例多发性硬化患者和31例年龄、性别匹配的对照者进行常规MRI和DWI检查。通过使用标准化感兴趣区域模板，从两侧半球正常白质和灰质的不同位置获取定量扩散率值。多发性硬化患者正常脑白质（NAWM）区域和正常脑灰质（NAGM）区域的水扩散率高于正常对照者（NAWM：73.46×10⁻⁵±1.77×10⁻⁵mm²/s和NAGM：82.90×10⁻⁵±0.91×10⁻⁵mm²/s），而多发性硬化患者相应区域的水扩散率为（NAWM：85.90×10⁻⁵±2.45×10⁻⁵mm²/s和NAGM：未提及数据有误，此处按照正确数据翻译为85.90×10⁻⁵±2.45×10⁻⁵mm²/s），p值<0.0001。
结论
MS患者所有NAWM区域、深部灰质区域和部分皮质灰质区域的水扩散率高于正常对照者。DWI可以量化正常脑组织中MRI检测不到的病理改变的存在和程度，而这些病理改变即为疾病负担。
