summary: The authors investigated whether high field MRI (i.e. 3 Tesla scanner) can provide an earlier diagnosis of definite MS compared with 1.5 Tesla. They concluded that, although it showed a higher detection rate of inflammatory brain lesions, high field MRI cannot lead to a earlier diagnosis of lesion dissemination in time and therefore definite MS.
