Imaging biomarker diagnoses PML
« on: April 11, 2016, 05:27:44 pm »
There may be an imaging marker that identifies "T2 weighted hyperintensities that disseminate in a punctate pattern" prior to the appearance of PML in a patient--though the cause of the PML wouldn't be known. Such a test could be useful for MS patients taking Tysabri.
