summary: In this review the authors highlight the advantages of new high field MRI techniques in showing damaged regions in the brain that with conventional techniques (standard field strengths) cannot be visualised. This improvement in depicting changes in brain tissue may help us to better understand the underlying processes occurring in MS, which at the same time may have a number of practical applications.
