    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) effectively correlates with multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical severity. This study confirms MRI

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Clinical Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system.
    • Assessing disease severity in MS is crucial for patient management and treatment efficacy.
    • The relationship between imaging findings and clinical disability in MS requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between the extent of disease on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the clinical severity in patients with suspected multiple sclerosis (MS).

    Main Methods:

    • Fifty-three consecutive patients with suspected MS were included.
    • MRI scans were analyzed to quantify disease extent.
    • Patient disability was assessed using three standardized neurologic rating scales.

    Main Results:

    • A strong, statistically significant correlation was observed between MRI-detected disease severity and two of the three clinical rating scales (p = 0.0001).
    • A significant correlation was also found with the third rating scale (p < 0.01).
    • Correlation between MRI findings and symptom duration was weak (p = 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • MRI is a valuable tool for assessing multiple sclerosis (MS) disease severity, showing a strong correlation with clinical disability.
    • MRI findings align well with established clinical evaluation methods in suspected MS cases.
    • Normal controls exhibited no MS-characteristic abnormalities on MRI or neurological examination, supporting the specificity of the findings.
