In vivo evaluation of cortical pathology is still
currently challenging. Using ultra-high field 7T MRI,
this study showed different types of cortical lesions
that are not visible on conventional field-strength MRI,
and updated lesion signal, morphology, and the extent of
cortical involvement. In particular, higher prevalence
of hypointense cortical lesions found in this study may
have critical clinical value regarding hemorrhagic
susceptibility or unfavorable drug effects in MS
patients.
