Summary

Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) is technique based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). In this study, the investigators evaluate the use of IVIM in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Detailed description

Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) is technique based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), it is achieved through an MRI acquisition with multiple small b value to extract perfusion data. It has been shown to be a promising technique in evaluation of many brain conditions. This study seeks to assess intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters in characterizing plaques and specific tissues in multiple sclerosis.
