Gadolinium Enhancing Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis

  • Chapter

Abstract

Contrast-enhanced MR imaging is a sensitive method for detecting active MS lesions. Gadolinium (Gd) enhancement is a marker for bloodbrain barrier breakdown and histologically correlates with the inflammatory phase of lesion development.
