In the case ofmultiple sclerosis (MS), MRI scans are done of the brain and sometimes spinal cord to spot damage to, or lesions on, portions of the myelin sheath, a fatty coating that protects nerve cell fibers, or axons. “MRI is critical in thediagnosis of MS,” saysRobert Zivadinov...

after being diagnosed with MS in 2018 (symptoms of neuropathy, fatigue, bladder problems, lack of balance, gait problems). I was put on Tysabri and had no improvement in symptoms. I developed a brain tumor in 2020 and had that removed - whether it was that drug, nobody knows....
On MRI, morphology and distribution of the lesions differ from those in MS. Visual evoked potentialscan help differentiate neuromyelitis optica from other optic neuropathies. Findings in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder include reduced amplitudes or prolonged latencies. This test is also useful...

Testing can be done on this fluid to confirm the presence of protein, inflammatory markers, and other substances. With the routine use of MRI, performing a spinal tap is not considered mandatory, unless there are questionable findings on the MRI or other questions to answer. Evoked potential ...
Sixty patients with a cervical spine MRI request that were suspected of having MS were examined. The number of MS plaques in the sagittal T2-W FSE, sagittal STIR, and sagittal T2-W FLAIR were recorded separately. A comparison between routine sequences and sequence supplement...
