Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system whose clinical manifestations and diagnostic criteria are non-specific and absence of golden criteria when diagnosing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can not only observe the focal lesions of demyelination, but also evaluate microstructural damages and iron deposition in the white/gray matter in MS patients by applying various developing sequences. MRIs play an irreplaceable role in revealing pathological evolution, prognosis and monitoring after treatment of MS patients. This paper reviewed the clinical value and application of MRIs for the MS patients in recent years.
