MRIs in Multiple Sclerosis Explained

Dr. Carraro, a neurologist at Piedmont HealthCare Lake Norman Neurology in Charlotte discusses MRIs in Multiple Sclerosis. MRIs are important in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring. They can help to identify classic lesions associated with MS, such as T2 hyperintense lesions, contrast-enhancing lesions, and T1 hypo intensities. Brain atrophy or shrinkage is also a factor that can be observed on an MRI and has a worse prognostic weight. Research into new MRI techniques such as 7 Tesla MRIs is ongoing.
