MRI Basics for MS Research
Short Description: This tutorial provides an introduction to neuroradiological imaging for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the basics of clinical diagnosis, followed by tutorials on neuroradiological evaluation, important diseases mimicking MS, and a case-by-case diagnostic tutorial on MS.
Target Audience: Graduate students, researchers, and medical doctors aiming to do research in the field of MS or interested in learning the basics of MRI diagnostics in MS
Prerequisites: Basic understanding of MRI
Tutorial Objectives:
-
Understand the fundamental clinical diagnostic criteria for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (e.g., McDonald Criteria) and its typical disease progression.
-
Identify the standard MRI sequences used in neuroradiology (T1, T2, FLAIR, and contrast-enhanced) specifically for neuroinflammatory diseases.
-
Demonstrate the ability to distinguish MS from "mimic" diseases based on lesion morphology, location, and clinical context.
-
Step-by-step MS diagnostic case analysis
