Abstract

Spinal cord MRI provides relevant additional information to brain MRI in understanding MS pathophysiology, in allowing an earlier and more accurate diagnosis of MS, and in identifying MS patients at higher risk to develop more severe disability. A future role in monitoring the effects of treatments is also foreseen.
