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
Researchers have shown that artificial intelligence can identify cortical lesions in multiple sclerosis patients using standard MRI scans that previously only revealed white‑matter damage. The study highlights that gray‑matter lesions are linked to disease progression and cognitive decline, yet conventional MRI has not been able to detect them. By applying AI algorithms to legacy scans, clinicians can now detect these previously invisible lesions, potentially improving monitoring and treatment decisions for MS patients.
