Characterization of Multiple Sclerosis Plaques Using Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging at 1.5 T: Can Perivenular Localization Improve Specificity of Imaging Criteria?

Conclusions: Central veins were detected in MS lesions with a significantly greater frequency than that in patients with dementia. Susceptibility-weighted imaging increases the conspicuity of corticomedullary veins and may improve the specificity of MR findings in MS.
