- To date, we have focused on outreach efforts to identify all parties who may be interested in joining the WG across the globe. We are collecting information on infrastructure at participating MR sites. We have participation from 30 institutions and 10 companies in 13 countries. In parallel, we are devising recommendations for optimum MRI/MRS protocols for SCAs: The Core protocol will include structural scans (T1&T2) of the brain, while the advanced protocol will include several modalities to monitor multiple aspects of the progressive SCA pathology: diffusion MRI, MRS, quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), resting state MRI.
