AI unlocks previously invisible cortical lesions in MS using legacy MRI scans
One of the uncomfortable truths about multiple sclerosis is that the part of the brain likely to reveal the most about the disease and how a patient will be affected has been mostly invisible to clinicians.
AI Summary
A University at Buffalo team used artificial intelligence to detect cortical lesions in multiple sclerosis from existing MRI scans, a capability previously unavailable because MRI could only visualize white‑matter lesions. The method, described in a Communications Medicine paper, reveals gray‑matter damage that contributes to disease progression and cognitive decline. This AI approach could allow clinicians to monitor cortical lesions without new imaging techniques.
