Conventional T1-weighted imaging provided dose-dependent associations with gadolinium administrations in MS, while these could not be detected with 2-dimensional MT. Future studies could explore newer MT techniques like 3D and inhomogenous MT. Notably, these associations were identified with conventional MRI even though most patients had not received gadolinium administrations in the preceding 9 years, suggestive of long-term retention.
