Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) is crucial for assessing multiple sclerosis (MS) and monitoring treatments due to its sensitivity. Advances in MRI techniques promise deeper insights into MS pathology, particularly gray matter damage.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) is a well-established tool for multiple sclerosis (MS) assessment and treatment monitoring.
  • Its sensitivity and reproducibility in detecting MS-related damage have solidified its role in clinical practice.
  • Significant efforts have focused on imaging strategies for brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve damage in MS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the established role and ongoing advancements of cMRI in multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis and management.
  • To highlight the potential of modern and quantitative MR techniques to enhance understanding of MS pathobiology.
  • To discuss the future implications of technical developments in MRI for quantifying gray matter damage in MS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established guidelines and acquisition protocols for cMRI in MS.
  • Discussion of the impact of modern and quantitative MR techniques.
  • Exploration of technical developments in MRI acquisition and postprocessing.

Main Results:

  • cMRI is sensitive and reproducible for detecting MS-related damage, aiding diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
  • Guidelines exist for integrating MR findings in diagnosing clinically isolated syndromes suggestive of MS.
  • Ongoing technical developments, including high-field magnets, are expected to improve quantification of gray matter damage.

Conclusions:

  • cMRI remains a cornerstone in the management of multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • Emerging quantitative MR techniques and technical advancements are poised to significantly advance the understanding of MS.
  • Future research will likely focus on leveraging these advancements to better quantify gray matter damage and disease progression.
