Abstract
Sequential MR imaging frequently shows disease activity (clinically silent new brain lesions) in subgroups of patients with multiple sclerosis and therefore is valuable in monitoring the effects of treatment. Monitoring of disease activity in patients being treated for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis will increase in importance as new and safe therapies are developed. We studied sequential enhanced MR images of patients with early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis to define the MR features that indicate disease activity in this subgroup of patients and to compare MR imaging and clinical findings for this purpose.Keywords
