Abstract

Objective: To evaluate multimodal MRI of the spinal cord in predicting disease progression and one-year clinical status in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients.Materials and Methods: After a first MRI (MRI1), 29 ALS patients were clinically followed during 12 months; 14/29 patients underwent a second MRI (MRI2) at 1163 months. Cross-sectional area (CSA) that has been shown to be a marker of lower motor neuron degeneration was measured in cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord from T2-weighted images. Fractional anisotropy (FA), axial/radial/mean diffusivities (lambda(1), lambda(H1), MD) and magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) were measured within the lateral corticospinal tract in the cervical region. Imaging metrics were compared with clinical scales: Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) and manual muscle testing (MMT) score.Results: At MRI1, CSA correlated significantly (P &lt; 0.05) with MMT and arm ALSFRS-R scores. FA correlated significantly with leg ALFSRS-R scores. One year after MRI1, CSA predicted (P &lt; 0.01) arm ALSFSR-R subscore and FA predicted (P, 0.01) leg ALSFRS-R subscore. From MRI1 to MRI2, significant changes (P &lt; 0.01) were detected for CSA and MTR. CSA rate of change (i.e. atrophy) highly correlated (P &lt; 0.01) with arm ALSFRS-R and arm MMT subscores rate of change.Conclusion: Atrophy and DTI metrics predicted ALS disease progression. Cord atrophy was a better biomarker of disease progression than diffusion and MTR. Our study suggests that multimodal MRI could provide surrogate markers of ALS that may help monitoring the effect of disease- modifying drugs.
