MRI techniques are essential to making a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) especially at the very early stages of the disease. Moreover, in the everyday clinical setting MR markers are more and more crucial for treatment choice and monitoring. Innovative imaging techniques are now available enabling new insights into the pathogenesis of MS and its functional consequences. In this context, specific training is mandatory to analyze and interpret MRI findings. The live educational preceptorship will provide learners with lectures given by world renowned experts in MR in MS and hands-on training, held at the Neuroimaging and Neuroimmunology Research Unit.
By attending this live educational course the learners will be able to:
- Apply MR diagnostic criteria for diagnosing MS
- Distinguish and rule out clinical conditions that can mimic MS at the MR scan
- Summarize the novel functional and structural markers of disease severity obtained by advanced MRI techniques
- Interpret MRI scans and estimate other relevant imaging outcomes
