Readers of this blog have already learned about the importance of monitoring their gray matter. Volume loss, or the shrinking of tissue, is also referred to as atrophy and neurodegeneration. I explain this process in more depth here: link The MRI measurement of atrophy has been proven to be more indicative of MS progression, when compared to white matter lesions. (The fact that we still use a seventy year old mouse model to measure white matter lesions for MS drug efficacy boggles the mind.) This paper advises that MS specialists look at other MRI markers to understand how treatments might be impacting loss of tissue and MS progression.
