Abstract

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) are markers of chronic active biology and exhibit complex iron and myelin changes that may complicate quantification when using conventional MRI approaches.

Purpose: To conduct a multiparametric MRI analysis of PRLs.

Study type: Retrospective/longitudinal.

Subjects: Ninety-five progressive MS subjects with at least one persistent PRL who were enrolled in the CONSONANCE trial.

Field strength/sequence: 3-T/Susceptibility-weighted, T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery.

Assessment: Acute/chronic PRLs and non-PRLs were measured at screening, 24, 48, and 96 weeks using quantitative magnetic susceptibility (QS), R2*, and standardized T1w/T2w ratio (sT1w/T2w). PRL analyses were performed for whole lesion, core, and rim. The correlations between PRL core and rim sT1w/T2w, QS, and R2* were assessed.

Statistical tests: Linear mixed models. A P-value <0.05 was considered significant.

Results: There was a significant decrease in sT1w/T2w (-0.24 ± -5.3 × 10^-3) and R2* (-3.6 ± 2.2 Hz) but a significant increase in QS (+21 ± 1.3 ppb) using whole-lesion analysis of chronic PRLs compared to non-PRLs at screening. Tissue damage accumulated at the 96-week time point was more evident in acute/chronic PRLs compared to acute/chronic non-PRLs (ΔsT1w/T2w = -0.21/-0.24 ± 0.033/0.0053; ΔR2* = -4.4/-3.6 ± 1.4/2.2 Hz). New, acute PRL sT1w/T2w significantly increased in lesion core (+4.3 × 10^-3 ± 1.2 × 10^-4) and rim (+5.6 × 10^-3 ± 1.2 × 10^-4) 24 weeks post lesion inception, suggestive of partial recovery. Chronic PRLs, contrastingly, showed significant decreases in sT1w/T2w over the initial 24 weeks for both core (-2.1 × 10^-4 ± 2.0 × 10^-5) and rim (-2.4 × 10^-4 ± 2.0 × 10^-5), indicative of irreversible tissue damage. Significant positive correlations between PRL core and rim sT1w/T2w (R² = 0.53), R2* (R² = 0.69) and QS (R² = 0.52) were observed.

Data conclusion: Multiparametric assessment of PRLs has the potential to be a valuable tool for assessing complex iron and myelin changes in chronic active PRLs of progressive MS patients.

Level of evidence: 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 3.

对急性和慢性多发性硬化症顺磁边缘病变的纵向多参数定量 MRI 评估

背景：多发性硬化症（MS）顺磁性边缘病变（PRLs）是慢性活动性生物标志物，表现出复杂的铁和髓鞘变化，这可能使传统 MRI 方法的量化变得复杂：研究类型：回顾性/纵向研究：研究类型：回顾性/纵向研究。受试者：95名进展期多发性硬化症受试者，他们至少有一个持续性PRL，并参加了CONSONANCE试验：3-T/感度加权、T1加权、T2加权和液体衰减反转恢复：在筛查、24、48 和 96 周时使用定量磁感应强度 (QS)、R2* 和标准化 T1w/T2w 比值 (sT1w/T2w) 测量急性/慢性 PRL 和非 PRL。对整个病灶、核心和边缘进行了 PRL 分析。评估了 PRL 核心和边缘 sT1w/T2w、QS 和 R2* 之间的相关性：线性混合模型。A P值结果：与筛查时的非PRL相比，通过对慢性PRL进行全组织分析，sT1w/T2w（-0.24 ± -5.3 × 10-3）和R2*（-3.6 ± 2.2 Hz）明显下降，但QS（+21 ± 1.3 ppb）明显上升。与急性/慢性非 PRL 相比，急性/慢性 PRL 在 96 周时间点累积的组织损伤更为明显（ΔsT1w/T2w = -0.21/-0.24 ± 0.033/0.0053；ΔR2* = -4.4/-3.6 ± 1.4/2.2 Hz）。新的急性PRL sT1w/T2w在病变开始后24周在病变核心（+4.3 × 10-3 ± 1.2 × 10-4）和边缘（+5.6 × 10-3 ± 1.2 × 10-4）显著增加，提示部分恢复。相反，慢性 PRL 在最初的 24 周内，核心（-2.1 × 10-4 ± 2.0 × 10-5）和边缘（-2.4 × 10-4 ± 2.0 × 10-5）的 sT1w/T2w 均显著下降，表明组织损伤不可逆转。在 PRL 核心和边缘 sT1w/T2w (R2 = 0.53)、R2* (R2 = 0.69) 和 QS (R2 = 0.52) 之间观察到显著的正相关：数据结论：PRL的多参数评估有可能成为评估进展期多发性硬化症患者慢性活动性PRL中复杂的铁和髓鞘变化的重要工具。
