Lesion Load and Location in Relation to Cognition, Fatigue and Physical Disability in RRMS

VolBrain, a fully automated platform that uses anonymized compressed NIFTI files to generate the volumetric data. Volbrain is increasingly recognized and compared to other volumetric tools. LesionBrain is a pipeline to automatically segment WM-L from T1 and FLAIR data. Number of lesions, absolute total lesion volume (in cubic cm), normalized lesion volume (percentage of total lesion volume to whole brain volume), lesion burden (percentage of total WM lesion volume to WM volume), and location (Periventricular, Juxtacortical, and Infratentorial) were obtained.

It includes the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) for evaluating the information processing speed, the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT-II) for evaluating verbal learning and memory, and the Brief Visual Memory Test (BVMT) for evaluating visual learning and memory. Cut off values were calculated as 1.5 SD below mean according to a group of healthy individuals who are matched in age, sex and education as following: 22 for SDMT, 38 for CVLT, and 10 for BVMTR
