Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease, the diagnosis is based on clinical and electromyographic findings and the exclusion of the differential diagnoses. The quantification of hyperintensity in Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) of the corticospinal tract can provide a benefit for the diagnosis and classification by subgroups according to phenotype.
