Revealing vascular abnormalities and measuring small vessel density in multiple sclerosis lesions using USPIO

Conclusions
By inducing a super-paramagnetic susceptibility in the blood using Ferumoxytol, the vascular abnormalities in the RRMS patients were revealed and small vessel densities were obtained. This approach has the potential to monitor the venous vasculature present in MS lesions, catalogue their characteristics and compare the vascular structures spatially to the presence of lesions. These enhanced vascular features may provide new insight into the pathophysiology of MS.
