MRI in multiple sclerosis: From the diagnosis to treatment follow-up
Multiple sclerosis MRI is followed from diagnostic protocols and differential diagnosis to lesion assessment and treatment monitoring.

Description
MRI is followed across the multiple sclerosis pathway through diagnostic criteria, standard brain and spinal cord protocols, lesion distribution, differential diagnosis, gadolinium use, and follow-up. Optic nerve imaging, the central vein sign, and reporting points that distinguish multiple sclerosis from alternative diagnoses are also considered.
Learning Objectives
- Apply standard MRI protocols and sequence selection in the diagnostic assessment of suspected multiple sclerosis.
- Recognise typical lesion locations and use imaging features to support differential diagnosis.
- Plan and interpret follow-up MRI, including appropriate use of gadolinium and comparison with prior studies.
- Assess the role of spinal cord, optic nerve, and advanced imaging signs in multiple sclerosis.
