摘要
A low-field (80 mT), portable MRI scanner has been developed that may address barriers to MRI for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). As a proof of concept study, we imaged two participants with central nervous system demyelinating disease by both a standard 1.5 Tesla MRI and the portable MRI scanner. These images demonstrate the ability to identify a solitary demyelinating lesion in early stage disease and cortical atrophy and chronic white matter changes in late stage disease. In spite of device limitations, including border distortion and lower image quality, the portable device has important implications for addressing barriers to care in people with MS.
