Accumulation of intra-axonal sodium ions represents a
key factor in the degenerative process in multiple
sclerosis (MS). MRI measurement of total sodium
concentration (TSC) is feasible in MS patients. We
report the in-vivo measurement at 7 Tesla MRI of intra
and extracellular sodium concentrations in MS patients.
We describe the potential contribution of sodium
dishomeostasis to disease pathophysiology and its
clinical impact.
