Аннотация
Резюме. Боковой амиотрофический склероз (БАС) – фатальное прогрессирующее заболевание центральной нервной системы с поражением верхнего и нижнего мотонейронов. Изучение особенностей течения и распространения нейродегенеративного процесса при БАС имеют большое значение, поскольку до настоящего времени эффективные методы лечения заболевания не разработаны. В клинической практике отсутствуют объективные биомаркеры поражения верхнего мотонейрона и экстрамоторных регионов головного мозга, несмотря на очевидные доказательства мультисистемности поражения головного мозга при БАС. В последние годы большую роль в изучении БАС играют методы структурной и функциональной нейровизуализации, такие как МР-морфометрия, диффузионно-тензорная МРТ, МР-спектроскопия, фунциональная МРТ, позитронно-эмиссионная томография (ПЭТ) и другие. В обзоре анализируются результаты нейровизуализационных исследований в контексте их применения для диагностики, прогнозирования и мониторирования течения БАС. Для диагностики заболевания наиболее чувствительными и специфичными являются диффузионно-тензорная МРТ, МР-спектроскопия, ПЭТ, комбинация нескольких методов нейровизуализации и их сочетание с транскраниальной магнитной стимуляцией. Диффузионно-тензорная МРТ и МР-спектроскопия могут использоваться для мониторинга и прогнозирования течения заболевания. Обсуждаются основные ограничения и недостатки проведённых исследований, а также возможные перспективы применения нейровизуализации при БАС.
