Multiple Sclerosis In The Crossfire 2007: Focus on Imaging
An update for neurologists and other medical professionals
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI has played an important role in contributing to our understanding of the natural history of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the brain and spinal cord. Various MRI techniques are increasingly used in practice to measure subclinical disease, on the basis of its greater sensitivity compared with clinical measures. Recent evidence from clinical trials has shown a clear benefit to starting treatment of MS as early as possible— so what can the practicing clinician learn about these imaging techniques, and can we incorporate them into clinical practice?
In 2 hours of lively discussion, four expert neurologists—3 neuroimaging specialists and a leading clinical investigator—discuss the evolution and clinical potential of magnetic resonance imaging techniques, in light of the new research gains in Multiple Sclerosis.

MS in the Crossfire 2006: Focus on MRI
Four leading magnetic resonance imaging specialists discuss the evolution and potential of magnetic resonance imaging techniques, the new consensus criteria from the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) and a new understanding of the natural history of MS in the brain and the spinal cord.
