About This Trial

This project is to: 1. Quantify differences in axonal integrity and organization in aMS versus naPMS patients. 2. Quantify changes in axonal integrity and organization in aMS versus naPMS patients over a two-year period. 3. Validate the combination of imaging parameters that best differentiate aMS versus naPMS patients using histopathology.
