Currently, patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and brain lesions on MRI suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS), are offered a confirmatory MRI scan after 6 months. Researchers in Italy ...

Scans often identify MS lesions in the periventricular white matter of the brain, the optic nerves, or the spinal cord. A contrast MRI can help doctors identify any active lesions. These types of ...

Reich, M.D., Ph.D., both at NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), combined repeated MRI imaging with brain-tissue analysis, including gene expression, to track the ...

Researchers have long used one version of this technology, known as blood oxygen level–dependent functional MRI (BOLD fMRI), to study how the human brain works. This method detects changes in blood ...

to track the onset and development of MS-like lesions. They uncovered a new MRI signature that can help detect brain regions at risk for damage weeks before any visible lesions occur. They also ...

Ocrelizumab significantly reduced the number and volume of cortical lesions associated with multiple sclerosis at 120 weeks, ...
