Neuroimaging in multiple sclerosis

Neuroimaging in multiple sclerosis is now dominated by MR imaging. This article will focus primarily on conventional MR imaging studies in multiple sclerosis, but will also discuss briefly some of the more recent advances related to MR imaging. Fast spin-echo imaging, fluid attenuated inversion recovery MR studies, three-dimensional volumetric studies, magnetization transfer, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy as it applies to multiple sclerosis are examined.
