<bold>Figure 12.49. Multiple sclerosis. A and B.</bold> Contiguous T2-weighted MR images show areas of ventricular plaques of high signal (<italic>arrows</bold>). <bold>C.</bold> (This is the same patient as in Fig. 12.39B.) T2-weighted image in another patient shows small periventricular plaques (<italic>solid arrows</bold>) as well as an area of left parietal infarction (<italic>open arrow</bold>). <bold>D.</bold> T1-weighted image in another patient shows plaques in the white matter (<italic>arrows</bold>).

<bold>Fig SP 22-2. Multiple sclerosis.</bold> (A) Sagittal T2-weighted image shows focal increased signal posteriorly (arrows) at the level of C3 in a normal-sized spinal cord. The plaque is approximately half a vertebral segment in length and is longer than it is wide. (B) Axial T2-weighted scan through the plaque shows the typical peripheral posterolateral location in cross section (arrow). Note that the plaque involves less than half the cross-sectional area of the cord. (C) Axial proton-densi...
