Research Abstract

The discrimination between multiple sclerosis (MS) and other white matter lesions in adults is still problematic as multiple diseases have similar clinical and radiological findings, especially at the disease onset. This case–control study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and brain morphometry in the differentiation between adult MS and its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mimics.
