On discovering microbleeds in the MS brain on 7T MRI, and how his discovery relates to cerebral blood flow impairment seen in CCSVI--
"Being the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, multiple sclerosis has a significant microvascular pathological component as a consequence of the perivascular inflammation. The role of vascular pathology in MS was suggested long ago. Now there is accumulating evidence of a primary vascular pathogenesis in MS. In vivo studies of vascular and hemodynamic impairment in MS may provide insights into the etiology and pathophysiology of MS and offer the potential metrics for assessment of outcome of the disease."
