How can MRI overcome challenges in multiple sclerosis
This symposium brings the community together to address the critical role of MRI in advancing the diagnosis and prognosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). With the new revisions to the McDonald diagnostic criteria, this session necessitates cross-disciplinary dialogues to explore how MRI innovations can meet the clinical needs and help tackle diagnostic challenges. The session will also emphasize bridging gaps between clinical insights and engineering advancements, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between clinicians, radiologists, and MR researchers.
Objectives 1. Highlight the diagnostic and prognostic challenges in MS and related disorders. 2. Discuss how advanced MRI techniques can address unmet clinical needs. 3. Bridge the gap between engineering innovations and clinical applications. 4. Foster collaboration between clinicians, MR scientists, and engineers.
