The present book aims at demonstrating MS
lesions in different sequences of conventional
MRI, and shows examples of typical and atypical
lesions. The main idea for collecting the images
in this atlas is to show the diversity of MS
lesions in different sequences of conventional
MRI. There is a summarized introduction at the
beginning of each chapter, followed by selected
images in different sequences demonstrating MS
lesions in different shapes, sizes, and locations.
A teaching point has been added to the images
as a “Note” in order to increase the information
resulting from them. Revised McDonald criteria
and some of the most important differential
diagnoses have been discussed in two separate
chapters. The images have been selected out of
thousands of MRI images, and we hope that this
MRI Atlas of MS Lesions, which is accompanied
by a learning CD, provides valuable tools for clinicians
and radiologists who are interested in MS
for a better depiction of lesions, avoiding pitfalls,
and demonstrating dissemination in space and
time by MRI.
