Anyone had any other idea?
I found this information at: http://www.msif.org/en/research/ms_research_news/brain_lesion_loc.html
Results: People with CDMS were significantly more likely than those with CIS and abnormal scan 20 years after onset to have T1 and T2 lesions in the corona radiata, optic radiation, and splenium of the corpus callosum (periventricularly) and T2 lesions in the right fronto-occipital fasciculus. People with MS EDSS >3, compared with those with EDSS ≤3, were more likely to have optic radiation and left internal capsule T2 lesions. No significant difference in lesion distribution was noted between RRMS and SPMS.
But I'm not sure if that helps us or not. Thanks JJ
Hmmmm not sure if they can with enough acuracy, compare a 1T with a 3T, if i recall correctly the comparrison stats say a 3T will show 25% more lesions than a 1.5T does. The latest MRI should technically provide more information but there doesn't seem to be anything apart from that one white matter lesion in the corona radiata, and if i've read it right thats more commonly associated with stroke or TIA's. So i'm thinking because an AVM is usually a congenital abnormal connection between veins and arteries, btw both do have sx's similar enough to the sx's of MS, this MRI could be indicating there is a vascular issue rather than MS.
about.com has this definition for the corona radiata:
"Definition: A bundle of nerve fibers that carries information to and from the brain cells that make up the cerebral cortex, an area of the brain that is responsible for the processing of conscious information. "
Sorry i couldn't be of more help, its definitely not what we commonly read in an MS MRI report, out of my depth so i hope someone else can help out.
Cheers..........JJ
I forgot to mention, the MRI in March was on a 1T and the new MRI was on a 3T.
