Abstract
T2 hypointensity is present in subcortical gray matter nuclei in patients with MS vs. normal controls. Dentate nucleus T2 hypointensity is independently related to ambulatory impairment and disability, accounting for more variance than conventional lesion and atrophy measures. This study adds more weight to the notion that T2 hypointensity is a clinically relevant marker of tissue damage in MS.
