How Is Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosed? There's no single test that can tell whether you have multiple sclerosis (MS), so it may take some time and multiple doctor visits to get a diagnosis. Doctors use a combination of physical exams, medical history questions, imaging tests, and laboratory tes...

In this aspect, the authors consider its characteristics in comparison to other MS forms as well as possible markers of the ...
New magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) research shows that changes in brain blood flow associated with vein abnormalities are not specific for multiple sclerosis (MS) and do not contribute to its severity, despite what some researchers have speculated. Results of the research are published online in ...
Reports in Asian populations suggest that ethnic and geographical differences may influence susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) and its clinical behaviors. Here, we sought to retrospectively survey clinical characteristics and MRI data in Chinese s

Although the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis relies on the demonstration of disease dissemination in space and time, the exclusion of other neurological disorders is also essential. The limited specificity of abnormalities disclosed by MRI may increase the likelihood of diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in...
