[Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging in multiple sclerosis].

Abstract

Brain MRI findings in 16 clinical cases of MS were compatible with multiple lesions in the brains in 14 cases. Cerebral lesions were detected in 12 cases without symptoms or signs referable to the cerebral hemispheres. When compared with t*he findings CT scannings, evoked potentials, and oligoclonal bands in the CSF, MRI findings appeared to be the most effective means for confirming the diagnosis of MS, but they would not indicated the course, the times of relapse and the activity of the disease process.
