Patients with discordant results between 1.5T and 3T according to Barkhof MR imaging criteria
Patient No. | Clinical Presentation | Number of Fulfilled MR Imaging Criteria | Additional MR Imaging Criterion | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1.5T | 3T | |||
1 | Optic neuritis | 0 | 1 | ≥1 juxtacortical lesion |
2 | Optic neuritis | 0 | 1 | ≥1 infratentorial lesion |
3 | Brain stem syndrome | 1 | 2 | ≥9 T2 hyperintense lesions |
4 | Brain stem syndrome | 1 | 2 | ≥9 T2 hyperintense lesions |
5 | Brain stem syndrome | 1 | 2 | ≥1 juxtacortical lesion |
6 | Optic neuritis | 1 | 2 | ≥9 T2 hyperintense lesions |
7 | Optic neuritis | 1 | 2 | ≥1 infratentorial lesion |
8* | Optic neuritis | 2 | 3 | ≥1 infratentorial lesion |
9* | Optic neuritis | 2 | 3 | ≥9 T2 hyperintense lesions |
10 | Optic neuritis | 3 | 4 | ≥3 periventricular lesions |
11 | Spinal cord syndrome | 3 | 4 | ≥1 infratentorial lesion |
* Patient fulfilled 3 criteria instead of 2 at 3T, and they were therefore diagnosed of having lesion dissemination in space according to McDonald diagnostic criteria.
