Multiple sclerosis normal‐appearing white matter: Pathology–imaging correlations

The study was undertaken to determine the pathologic basis of subtle abnormalities in magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters observed in normal‐appearing white matter (NAWM) in multiple sclerosis brains.
