q-Space Myelin Map imaging for longitudinal analysis of demyelination and remyelination in multiple sclerosis patients treated with fingolimod: A preliminary study
q-Space Myelin Mapping is a novel MRI modality for specifically visualizing myelin. Fingolimod (FTY) has been shown to induce remyelination in certain animal studies. Remyelination in FTY-treated multiple sclerosis brains was seen with Myelin Mapping. The possible role of FTY in the induction of remyelination awaits further studies.
