The relationship between diffuse cortical and underlying
white matter (WM) injury in multiple sclerosis (MS) is
not well understood. We used cortical thickness and
intracortical laminar T2* relaxation decay to assess
cortical injury, and to analyse its relationship with
underlying WM pathology as assessed by diffusion tensor
imaging. We found a spatial relationship between cortex
and subcortical WM pathology at the overall brain level,
and as a function of the depth from the white matter
surface within WM tracts.
