Multiple Sclerosis and Chronic Cerbrospinal Venous Insufficiency Patient – This video follows a patient throughout the entire treatment process. MRI and CT diagnostic imaging, jugular vein angioplasyt, autologous stem cell implantation and post treatment analysis.
It has been 6.5 months since my initial angioplasty. I have not relapsed and generally I am doing very well. I do suspect I have restenosed and have some minor regression which I discuss. Have an MRV & MRI scheduled for late October which will be interesting. In the meantime heaps is going on regarding CCSVI research in Australia, trying to raise awareness to the wider population and see treatment available for people who have venous abnormalities without unfair barriers.

Google Tech Talk September 16, 2010 Breakthroughs in Imaging Neurovascular Diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis: Technical Aspects, Clinical Ramifications, and Understanding the Etiology of the Disease. Presented by Dr. E. Mark Haacke. ABSTRACT Magnetic Resonance Imaging has long been an important diagnostic tool for Multiple Sclerosis. Recent developments linking MS to venous malformations have highlighted the use of advanced techniques for imaging iron deposits and blood flow. We introduce here a number of new technical image acquisition and image processing concepts whose application may well extend into other diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, stroke and traumatic brain injury. Finally, the development and data mining of worldwide data in specific diseases will also be discussed. ABOUT THE AUTHOR E. Mark Haacke is a world renown MRI researcher at Wayne State University. He won the Gold Medal in Kyoto in 2004 for his work on Susceptibility Weighted Imaging and Education. He is the past president of two MRI societies and has just formed “The International Society for Neurovascular Disease”. For the last 30 years, Dr. Haacke has focused on the physics and mathematics associated with the technical development of new imaging methods and their clinical applications.
