Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by degeneration of both upper and lower motor neuron located in the spinal cord and brainstem. Diagnosis of ALS is predominantly clinical, nevertheless, electromyography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may provide support. Several advanced MRI techniques have been proven useful for ALS diagnosis and, indeed, the combination of different MRI techniques demonstrated an improvement in sensitivity and specificity as far as 90%. This review focus on the imaging techniques currently used in the diagnosis and management of ALS with brief considerations on future applications.
期刊介绍:
Archives Italiennes de Biologie - a Journal of Neuroscience- was founded in 1882 and represents one of the oldest neuroscience journals in the world. Archives publishes original contributions in all the fields of neuroscience, including neurophysiology, experimental neuroanatomy and electron microscopy, neurobiology, neurochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, functional brain imaging and behavioral science.
Archives Italiennes de Biologie also publishes monographic special issues that collect papers on a specific topic of interest in neuroscience as well as the proceedings of important scientific events.
Archives Italiennes de Biologie is published in 4 issues per year and is indexed in the major collections of biomedical journals, including Medline, PubMed, Current Contents, Excerpta Medica.
