Program Overview
For over 20 years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and guidelines have been developed to enhance its use by physicians caring for these patients. Misconceptions still exist, however, on how heavily clinicians should depend upon MRI findings and when MRI studies are appropriate. And while serial MRI studies may uncover new lesions unaccompanied by clinical relapses – the so-called “hidden burden” of MS disease –new clinical symptoms sometimes exhibit no MRI evidence. This program will address these issues, providing guidance on the use of MRI in MS, for the practicing physician who treats patients with MS.
