Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains an integral diagnostic tool in multiple sclerosis (MS), for both making the initial diagnosis and monitoring for disease relapse and progression. Despite the applied use of MRI according to the revised McDonald's criteria in 2017, there has been persistent low diagnostic specificity, especially as it pertains to differentiating radiologically isolated syndrome from alternative diagnoses that mimic demyelination. This report will provide an overview of recent paraclinical innovations, with a focus on MRI biomarkers and parameters such as the central vein and paramagnetic rim signs. Utilizing these tools in clinical practice will hopefully improve precision in the diagnosis and monitoring of MS and reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Neurology is a review journal on current trends in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological diseases. Areas of coverage include multiple sclerosis, central nervous system infections, muscular dystrophy, neuro-immunology, spinal disorders, strokes, epilepsy, motor neuron diseases, movement disorders, higher cortical function, neuro-genetics and neuro-ophthamology. Each issue is presented under the direction of an expert guest editor, and invited contributors focus on a single, high-interest clinical topic.
Up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest information in the field makes this journal an invaluable resource for neurologists and residents.
