DTI failed to detect the extent of axonal loss which plays
a significant role in irreversible neurological impairments in MS and NMO
patients. Our results suggest diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) may serve
as a useful method to quantify the extent of axonal loss and confounding
pathologies in RRMS and NMO.
