An MRI assessment of mechanisms underlying lesion growth and shrinkage in multiple sclerosis

By applying the tensor model, we analysed lesion orientation and the directionality of lesion expansion/contraction in multiple sclerosis. Each lesion is summarized as an ellipsoid, and the tensor model is applied to calculate lesion anisotropy. From the top to the bottom white matter atlas, surface-in gradient segmentation and venous atlas used in the present study are represented together with examples of lesions aligned with each orientation assessed.
