What is Advances in Multiple Sclerosis and its Variants about?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and its variants are inflammatory and neurodegenerative central nervous system (CNS) diseases characterized by white matter plaques, atrophy, and diffuse abnormalities in surrounding gray and white matter. Conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is sensitive for focal white matter lesions and atrophy in MS, but correlates poorly with clinical measures of disease. Improvements in technology have increased the sensitivity of conventional MR in evaluating MS, and automated techniques have improved accuracy and allowed the quantification of disease. Nonconventional MR imaging techniques detect the diffuse CNS changes present outside white matter plaques in MS and may correlate more closely with patients' symptoms. Imaging of the spinal cord and optic nerves in MS provides another method for evaluating disease severity and progression, with improved correlations with clinical disease.
