Multiple sclerosis imaging

MRI is the cornerstone of multiple sclerosis diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment response assessment. Brain and spinal cord MRI identify demyelinating plaques, evaluate disease activity with contrast, and track lesion burden over time. This page explains what the scans show and how to schedule at Precise Imaging.
