MRI-based myelin water fraction (MWF) and PET-based Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) imaging both have potential to measure myelin in multiple sclerosis (MS). We characterised the differences in MWF and PiB binding in MS lesions relative to normal-appearing white matter and assessed the correlation between MWF and PiB binding in 11 MS participants and 3 healthy controls within 14 white matter regions of interest. Both PiB binding and MWF were reduced in MS lesions relative to NAWM, and a modest within subject correlation between MWF and PiB binding was found. This pilot study shows that MWF and PET-PiB provide different information about myelin loss in MS.
基于磁共振成像(MRI)的髓磷脂水含量(MWF)和基于正电子发射断层扫描(PET)的匹兹堡化合物B(PiB)成像都有潜力用于测量多发性硬化症(MS)中的髓磷脂。我们描述了MS病变中MWF和PiB结合相对于正常外观白质的差异,并评估了11名MS参与者和3名健康对照在14个白质感兴趣区域内MWF与PiB结合之间的相关性。相对于正常外观白质(NAWM),MS病变中的PiB结合和MWF均降低,并且发现MWF与PiB结合之间存在适度的受试者内相关性。这项初步研究表明,MWF和PET-PiB提供了关于MS中髓磷脂丢失的不同信息。
