Evaluation of a connectivity-based imaging metric that reflects functional decline in Multiple Sclerosis. by Katherine A Koenig, Erik B Beall, Ken E Sakaie, Daniel Ontaneda, Lael Stone, Stephen M Rao, Kunio Nakamura, Stephen E Jones, Mark J Lowe

“…The change in SFCI over two years performed favorably compared to measures of brain parenchymal fraction and lesion volume, relating to follow-up measures of processing speed (r = 0.60, p = 0.005), verbal fluency (r = 0.57, p = 0.009), and score on the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (r = 0.67, p = 0.003). These initial results show that the SFCI is a suitable metric for longitudinal evaluation of functional decline in MS.…”
