Abstract
MR T2 Weighted sequences on the brain demonstrate disseminated "high signal zones" (HSZ) in patients with Multiple Sclerosis; these morphological alterations are corresponding to the plaques. From the very beginnings of MR in 1981, everybody recognizes the main importance of this fact. MR appears as the most sensible exploration in patients with M.S. But the signal alteration is not specific; the clinical considerations and the evolution are requested. The aim of this work is to give a reference tool for evolutive evaluation of the disease. A work station with a specially developed software are presented. The HSZ thresholding is partially automatic. The edition of a cerebral mapping is developed. These results are discussed.
