The Effectiveness of MRI Techniques in Evaluating Multiple Sclerosis Patients
: Background and objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurodegenerative disease characterized by multiple focal areas of demyelination called plaques or lesions. The main aim of the study is to evaluate patients with multiple sclerosis disease using MRI technology and to emphasis the effectiveness of this technology in diagnosis of the disease.
Methods: This study was conducted in order to better recognition and understanding of MS disorder using radiologic MRI techniques and the main problem is the increase prevalence among public population . The database registry was limited to hospitalized patients whom diagnosed with multiple sclerosis using MRI techniques and the population of the study was 80 participants their age elder than 16 years old in period from April to November 2020 .Normal condition or other neurological disorders were excluded.
Results: The most important results obtained in this study is that it is possible to diagnose Multiple sclerosis patients in an accurate manner using magnetic resonance imaging technology. The outcome of variable detected prevalence of 80 samples 52.5% of them were male, and 47.5% were female and the big distribution group was 53% aged between 30-39 years. The obtained data also showed that the most affected brain region was periventricular matter with 30%, followed by the frontal lobe with 27.5%. clinical etiology big distribution data were achieved for vision Problems with percentage of 22.5 % followed by Dizziness & vertigo sensation with percentage of 18.7% The MRI techniques showed two appearance of MS lesions and plaques, the most distribution achieved for foci appearance with percentage of 75% and patchy appearance with 25% present.
Conclusion: Although for many years there was awareness of the morbidity and mortality associated with Multiple sclerosis however real progress only comes with the ability to early diagnosis using MRI technology.
