Abstract

The pathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions is highly subject-specific, therefore personalized lesion analysis is important in assessing the degree of disease-related brain damage and the patient’s response to therapy. Separating and comparing lesional and non-lesional tissue provides an “internal control” and, therefore, increased precision of measurement of the degree of lesional damage in the brain. Here we present a novel and fully automatic method to create a personalized lesion profile of the subject based on DTI tractography, which can be used to assess
whole brain lesional damage. This technique can be applied to measure microstructural change using any MRI modality, and may have high translational impact in clinical trials and neurological research.
