Significats de link adrenoleukodystrophy en anglès

X- linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the myelin of the nervous system and the adrenal cortex.

Multislice proton MRSI may be a suitable technique for the prediction of lesion progression on MRI in X- linked adrenoleukodystrophy.

Background and purpose: Early assignment of disease progression among patients with X- linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is critical for the appropriate selection of effective therapy.

Magnetic resonance imaging sequences such as diffusion and spectroscopy have been well studied in X- linked adrenoleukodystrophy, but no data exist on magnetic resonance perfusion imaging.

Evaluation of the therapy of X- linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is hampered by its rarity and by the striking and unpredictable variation in phenotypic expression.
