ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the early detection and better monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS). The method maps the myelin sheaths ...

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, has revolutionized the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. WebMD explains how MRI works in detecting MS abnormalities and tracking the progress of the disease.

UCSF researchers have identified a correlation between higher levels of glutamate, which occurs naturally in the brain as a byproduct of metabolism, and greater disease burden in multiple sclerosis ...

Multiple sclerosis affects more than 2 million people worldwide and is currently incurable. A number of interventions to modify the course of multiple sclerosis have been developed that offer new i ...

A retrospective, five-year study of 1,314 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has found that atrophied brain lesion volume is the only marker from MRI scans that can accurately predict which ...

Chronic active lesions -- dark-rimmed spots indicating ongoing, smoldering inflammation on 3T or 7T MRI susceptibility sequences -- were common in multiple sclerosis (MS) and tied to disability ...

MRI-based visualization of demyelinated CNS lesions is pivotal to the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS). The authors describe how advanced multimodal neuroimaging techniques are ...

Clinically definite multiple sclerosis developed in 44 of the 50 patients (88 percent) with abnormal results on MRI at presentation and in 4 of 21 patients (19 percent) with normal results on MRI.
