The article presents a study on the masked multimodal imaging assessment of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) and its implication in multiple sclerosis (MS). It mentions the evaluation of magnetic resonance venography (MRV) and transluminal venography (TLV) and neurosonography (NS) in the subsets of patients with the autoimmune disease. It also notes the application of contingency tests for assessing agreement and intraobserver reliability within modalities.
