MRI and multiple sclerosis––the evolving role of MRI in the diagnosis and management of MS: the radiologist’s perspective

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an integral role in the management of multiple sclerosis (MS), from both diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives. This 2-part review aims to detail the evolving and expanding role of MRI for both radiologists and neurologists. In this article, we discuss the diagnostic criteria for MS relevant to radiologists, as well as its varying imaging manifestations.
