ABSTRACT
By the end of this workshop participants had a clearer view of the use of MRI for the diagnosis and follow-up of MS, including finer points on differential diagnosis with a focus on the use of new MRI sequences and techniques.
Clinical cases were used for illustrating the points while at the same time the workshop participants were encouraged to actively participate in the discussion.
QUESTIONS ASKED IN THE INTERVIEW
- What is the role of MRI for the diagnosis and follow-up of MS?
- What is the role of MRI sequences and techniques?
- Why does OCT serve an important complementary role to MRI in the surveillance of MS?
- What should a neurologist whom has a patient that is suspected to have MS, do in relation to MRI and OCT?
