This study investigated the applicability of ViSTa-MWI for the detection of myelin damage in MS. The results show ViSTa-MWI sensitively detects normal appearing white matter damage with better reliability than SE-MWI. Additionally, ViSTa-MWI can discriminate T₁ isointense lesions from T₁ hypointense lesions.
