The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in the optic nerve was measured from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging using an intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) sequence. The subjects were seven normal volunteers and eight patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) with a total of four optic nerves with acute neuritis and nine nerves with chronic neuritis. The mean ADC (4.18 +/- 1.13 x 10(-3) mm2/s, n = 9) in the optic nerves with chronic neuritis was significantly higher than that in normal volunteers (1.56 +/- 0.675 x 10(-3) mm2/s, n = 14) and that in the nerves with acute neuritis (0.94 +/- 0.43 x 10(-3) mm2/s n = 4) (P < 0.001). The ADC is useful in assessing MS foci in the optic nerves.
使用体素内不相干运动(IVIM)序列,通过扩散加权磁共振成像测量视神经中的表观扩散系数(ADC)。受试者包括7名正常志愿者和8例多发性硬化症(MS)患者,共有4条急性神经炎视神经和9条慢性神经炎视神经。慢性神经炎视神经的平均ADC(4.18±1.13×10⁻³mm²/s,n = 9)显著高于正常志愿者(1.56±0.675×10⁻³mm²/s,n = 14)和急性神经炎视神经(0.94±0.43×10⁻³mm²/s,n = 4)(P < 0.001)。ADC有助于评估视神经中的MS病灶。
