Description

Objectives:Investigating differential vulnerability of thalamic nuclei in multiple sclerosis (MS).Methods:In a secondary analysis of prospectively collected datasets, we pooled 136 patients with MS or clinically isolated syndrome and 71 healthy controls all scanned with conventional 3D-T1 and white-matter-nulled magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (WMn-MPRAGE) and tested for cognitive performance. T1-based thalamic segmentation was compared with the reference WMn-MPRAGE method. Volumes of thalamic nuclei were compared according to clinical phenotypes and cognitive profile.Results:T1- and WMn-MPRAGE provided comparable segmentations (0.84 ± 0.13
