We compared ultra-high field, high resolution quantitative T₁ and T₂* measurements in the cerebellum of MS patients to that of healthy controls. A correlation between the multiple sclerosis functional scale scores and local T₂* values was found for several motor and cognitive related lobules. No significant differences between groups were found.
