AB SUMMARY: MR imaging is widely used for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with MS. Applications and protocols for MR imaging continue to evolve, prompting a need for continual reassessments of the optimal use of this technique in clinical practice. This article provides updated recommendations on the use of MR imaging in MS, based on a review of the trial evidence and personal experiences shared at a recent expert meeting of radiologists and neurologists.
