Abstract

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common young adults' central nervous system (CNS)chronic inflammatory disease. In addition to white matter (WM) involvement, gray matter (GM)involvement is important to be detected in many patients. Double-inversion recovery (DIR) pulse sequence has recently been added to conventional MRI protocol to improve the visibility of GM lesions as well as cortical lesions.Our study aimed to evaluate the value of double inversion MRI sequence in the detection of multiple sclerosis, compared mainly with FLAIR sequencing
