BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Various authors have developed criteria to classify MR
imaging findings that suggest the possibility of multiple sclerosis. The purpose of this study …

We compared MRI criteria used to predict conversion of suspected multiple sclerosis to
clinically definite multiple sclerosis. Seventy-four patients with clinically isolated neurological …

Summary Background The 2001 and 2005 McDonald criteria allow MRI evidence for
dissemination in space (DIS) and dissemination in time (DIT) to be used to diagnose …

A 5-year follow-up study was performed on 89 patients who had undergone brain magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) at presentation with an acute clinically isolated syndrome of the …

Background: Recently developed diagnostic criteria for MS (McDonald criteria) indicate that
in patients with a single demyelinating episode (clinically isolated syndromes [CIS]) …

In the past decade, changes have occurred in the spectrum of multiple sclerosis courses.
The natural history of multiple sclerosis appears milder from the first sign of demyelinating …

Background A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in patients who present for the first time with a
clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) can be established with brain magnetic resonance …

Background Subclinical demyelinating lesions may occur in the brains of asymptomatic
individuals. Objective To describe the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) follow …

Traditionally, multiple sclerosis (MS) has been diagnosed on the basis of clinical evidence of
dissemination in time and space. Previously, it could not be diagnosed in patients with …

The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been improved in recent decades with the
incorporation of paraclinical investigations in diagnostic workup. In the last 15 years …
