Testing for MS – MRI
Language
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI is currently the most accurate, non-invasive imaging method to detect demyelination and diagnose MS. An MRI scan uses powerful magnets to create detailed pictures of the brain and spinal cord. This helps doctors spot areas of damage which could be signs of MS. MRI scans can help doctors see how much damage has occurred and where it has taken place.
