Optic nerve magnetisation transfer ratio after acute optic neuritis predicts axonal and visual outcomes.

Magnetisation transfer ratio (MTR) can reveal the degree of proton exchange between free water and macromolecules and was suggested to be pathological informative. We aimed to investigate changes in optic nerve MTR over 12 months following acute optic neuritis (ON) and to determine whether MTR measu...
