A Single, Early Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study in the Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

A single brain MRI study that demonstrates DIS and shows both gadolinium-enhancing and nonenhancing lesions that suggest DIT is highly specific for predicting the early development of CDMS, even when the MRI is performed within the first 3 months after the onset of a CIS.
