Differentiation of Multiple Sclerosis from Other Inflammatory Disorders and Cerebrovascular Disease: Value of Spinal MR Imaging
Abstract
Purpose To determine the value of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the spinal cord to differentiate multiple sclerosis (MS) from other inflammatory disorders and cerebrovascular diseases (together, other neurologic disease [OND]). Materials and methods The study population included 66 patients with OND and 25 patients with MS, who were matched for age, sex, and symptom duration or severity. Brain MR imaging included gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted and dual-echo T2-weighted spin-echo sequences to assess the number, size, and appearance of lesions, contrast enhancement, and compatibility with diagnostic criteria for MS. Spinal cord MR imaging included cardiac-triggered gadolinium-enhanced sagittal T1-weighted spin-echo and dual-echo T2-weighted sequences to assess the general appearance (normal, focal lesion, diffuse abnormality) and number or size of focal lesions. Images obtained in MS and OND patients were compared. Specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values with MR images were calculated. Results Brain images were abnormal in all MS patients and in 65% of OND patients. Abnormal cord images were found in 92% of MS and 6% of OND patients. The combination of brain and spinal cord images increased accuracy of diagnosis compared with use of brain images alone. Conclusion In contrast to MS, cord lesions are very uncommon in OND. This finding can help differentiate these disorders.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
