Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis and management.
  • Conventional MRI techniques assess lesions and atrophy in the central nervous system.
  • Advanced MRI methods offer deeper insights into MS pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of MRI in diagnosing and managing MS.
  • To explore how advanced MRI techniques contribute to understanding MS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conventional MRI techniques (T2-weighted, T1-weighted, FLAIR).
  • Discussion of advanced MRI techniques (diffusion-weighted, magnetization transfer, spectroscopy, fMRI).

Main Results:

  • Conventional MRI is the primary tool for MS diagnosis and monitoring.
  • Advanced MRI techniques are expanding the understanding of MS pathology.
  • The clinical utility of advanced MRI techniques is still under investigation.

Conclusions:

  • MRI is indispensable in the clinical and scientific study of MS.
  • Advanced MRI techniques hold promise for future MS research and patient care.
