MRI Scans Predict Long Term Prognosis in MS Patients
An early treatment MRI can predict a multiple sclerosis (MS) patient’s five-year disability progression, according to a study recently presented in the Netherlands. The study found that by performing an MRI six to 12 months after treatment initiation, it’s possible to predict whether a patient will respond to the given treatment long term. If the patient shows new lesions on MRI after starting a treatment, researchers recommend switching to a different therapy, to try to avoid irreversible neurological disability.
