Multiple sclerosis (MS) often affects optic nerves, but imaging is not routine. This review explores advanced MRI techniques to better assess optic nerve damage in MS, potentially improving clinical correlation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) commonly affects the optic nerves, yet routine clinical imaging is lacking.
  • Current brain magnetic resonance (MR) metrics for MS show limited correlation with clinical disability.
  • Optic nerve assessment may bridge the gap between MRI findings and patient disability in MS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current conventional and advanced MR techniques for evaluating optic nerve damage in MS.
  • To highlight the potential of optic nerve imaging in understanding MS progression and disability.
  • To address the clinical-MRI paradox in multiple sclerosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques for optic nerve assessment.

  • Exploration of modern, advanced MR strategies for in vivo evaluation of MS pathology in optic nerves.
  • Analysis of studies correlating optic nerve MR metrics with clinical outcomes in MS patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Conventional MR techniques provide insights into optic nerve involvement in MS.
    • Advanced MR strategies offer objective metrics for monitoring optic nerve damage.
    • Optic nerve imaging shows promise in correlating with clinical disability, potentially resolving the clinical-MRI paradox.

    Conclusions:

    • Optic nerve imaging using advanced MR techniques is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of MS.
    • Improved assessment of optic nerve damage can enhance the monitoring of MS disease evolution.
    • Integrating optic nerve imaging may improve the clinical management of multiple sclerosis.
