Abstract:
Significant advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) have been made during the past decade. These advances have revealed evidence of profound heterogeneity in MS. There is a clear need to revisit the key issues in MS pathogenesis and treatment strategies, taking new data into consideration. This paper provides an overview of recent progress in MS research, including (a) a review of clinical, pathologic, and immunologic aspects of MS, (b) a discussion of the mechanism of action of currently available disease-modifying drugs for MS, (c) an account of the role of MRI in clinical management and clinical trials in MS, and (d) an overview of some emerging treatments for MS.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
