T2w imaging could assist in the early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, these scans are inherently qualitative, and variable intensities in the images depend on hardware and acquisition parameters. On the other hand, standardized quantitative T2 maps can serve as a sensitive biomarker of MS and the longitudinal assessment of the disease progression. In this abstract, we present the first results demonstrating that calculating T2 maps from vendor T2w sequence is feasible, which could allow for an earlier diagnosis of MS disease.
