Abstract:
:Over the last 10 - 15 years, magnetic resonance imaging techniques have had a major impact in understanding and managing multiple sclerosis. The present review briefly summarises the current usefulness of spinal cord MRI in MS disease, examining the frequency, distribution and main characteristics of spine MS plaques; the differential diagnosis with other spinal cord disease was also described. Finally we considered how newer imaging sequences when added to semi-automated quantitative methods, may give us a putative tool to reliably quantify subtle changes which develop on the spinal cord of MS patients over time.
