Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pattern recognition is a powerful tool for quick diagnosis of genetic and acquired white matter disorders. In many cases, distribution and character of white matter abnormalities directly point to a specific diagnosis and guide confirmatory testing. Knowledge of normal brain development is essential to interpret white matter changes in young children. MRI is also used for disease staging and treatment decisions in leukodystrophies and acquired disorders as multiple sclerosis, and as a biomarker to follow treatment effects.

白质疾病的磁共振成像模式识别

磁共振成像（MRI）模式识别是快速诊断遗传性和获得性白质疾病的有力工具。在许多情况下，白质异常的分布和特征直接指向特定诊断并指导确诊检查。了解大脑的正常发育对于解读幼儿的白质变化至关重要。磁共振成像还可用于白质营养不良和后天性疾病（如多发性硬化症）的疾病分期和治疗决策，并可作为跟踪治疗效果的生物标记物。

期刊介绍： The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
