T2' on 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging correlates with disability

T2 hypointensity (black T2, BT2) in the deep grey matter of multiple
sclerosis (MS) patients correlate weakly with disability at 1.5 T. BT2
is likely to be caused by abnormal iron deposition. We compared the
correlation between disability and deep grey matter BT2 measured on 3
T MRI and on 1.5 T MRI in 17 MS patients. We observed a significant
correlation between expanded disability status scale and signal
intensity on 3 T MRI in the globus pallidus and the caudate nucleus
(r= - 0.5, P<0.05). BT2 at 3 T may be a useful MRI measure associated
with disability in MS and warrants further study. Mulitple Sclerosis
