Abstract
High‐field strength (1.5 Tesla) magnetic resonance imaging in 15 patients with multiple and extensive white‐matter lesions and clinically definite multiple sclerosis delineated a previously underscribed finding of abnormally Decemberreased signal intensity on T2‐weighted images in the thalamus and putamen. The Decemberreased signal intensity (preferential Decemberreased T2 relaxation time) is most likely to be related to abnormally increased iron accumulation causing local magnetic field heterogeneities.
