Longitudinal clinical study of patients with iron rim lesions in multiple sclerosis (2022)
Journal Article
Altokhis, A. I., Hibbert, A. M., Allen, C. M., Mougin, O., Alotaibi, A., Lim, S. Y., …Evangelou, N. (2022). Longitudinal clinical study of patients with iron rim lesions in multiple sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 28(14), 2202-2211. https://doi.org/10.1177/13524585221114750

Background: Iron rims (IRs) surrounding white matter lesions (WMLs) are suggested to predict a more severe disease course. Only small longitudinal cohorts of patients with and without iron rim lesions (IRLs) have been reported so far. Objective: To a...

Quantitative T1 mapping using multi-slice multi-shot inversion recovery EPI (2021)
Journal Article
Sanchez Panchuelo, R. M., Mougin, O., Turner, R., & Francis, S. T. (2021). Quantitative T1 mapping using multi-slice multi-shot inversion recovery EPI. NeuroImage, 234, Article 117976. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.117976

An efficient multi-slice inversion–recovery EPI (MS-IR-EPI) sequence for fast, high spatial resolution, quantitative T1 mapping is presented, using a segmented simultaneous multi-slice acquisition, combined with slice order shifting across multiple a...

Reduced Myelin Signal in Normal-appearing White Matter in Neuromyelitis Optica Measured by 7T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2019)
Journal Article
Chou, I.-J., Tanasescu, R., Mougin, O. E., Gowland, P. A., Tench, C. R., Whitehouse, W. P., …Constantinescu, C. S. (2019). Reduced Myelin Signal in Normal-appearing White Matter in Neuromyelitis Optica Measured by 7T Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 14378. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-50928-0

Whether the integrity of normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) is preserved in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) is open to debate. To examine whether the tissue integrity of NAWM in NMOSD is compromised compared to that in healthy contr...

Parkinson's disease related signal change in the nigrosomes 1–5 and the substantia nigra using T2* weighted 7T MRI (2018)
Journal Article
Schwarz, S. T., Mougin, O., Xing, Y., Blazejewska, A., Bajaj, N., Auer, D. P., & Gowland, P. (2018). Parkinson's disease related signal change in the nigrosomes 1–5 and the substantia nigra using T2* weighted 7T MRI. NeuroImage: Clinical, 19, 683-689. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2018.05.027

Improved markers for the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) are required. Previous work has proven that iron dependent MRI scans can detect the largest Nigrosome (N1) within the substantia nigra (SN) pars compacta and changes in PD. Histopatholo...

Seven-Tesla magnetization transfer imaging to detect multiple sclerosis white matter lesions (2017)
Journal Article
Chou, I.-J., Lim, S.-Y., Tanasescu, R., Al-Radaideh, A., Mougin, O. E., Tench, C. R., …Constantinescu, C. S. (in press). Seven-Tesla magnetization transfer imaging to detect multiple sclerosis white matter lesions. Journal of Neuroimaging, https://doi.org/10.1111/jon.12474

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging at 3 Tesla (T) field strength is the most sensitive modality for detecting white matter lesions in multiple sclerosis. While 7T FLAIR is effective in detecting cortical lesio... Read More about Seven-Tesla magnetization transfer imaging to detect multiple sclerosis white matter lesions.
