• Phase-rim lesions (PRLs) in multiple sclerosis present a characteristic T1-hypointensity on 3DT1TFE MRI. • Intensity-normalized 3DT1TFE can be used to systematically identify and quantify these deeply hypointense foci. • Deep T1-hypointensity may act as an easily detectable, surrogate marker for PRLs.
