Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Recent studies suggest that parameters of the corpus callosum (CC), such as the CC index (CCI) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of the CC, may be related to the degree of brain volume loss (BVL) in MS patients; however, cutoff values that determine the degree of BVL have not been set. METHODS: Seventy-five MS patients and 21 healthy controls (HCs) underwent volumetric MRI examinations. MS patients were...
