RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Prognostic Utility of MRI in Clinically Isolated Syndrome: A Literature Review JF American Journal of Neuroradiology JO Am. J. Neuroradiol. FD American Society of Neuroradiology SP 425 OP 431 DO 10.3174/ajnr.A3954 VO 36 IS 3 A1 C. Odenthal A1 A. Coulthard YR 2015 UL http://www.ajnr.org/content/36/3/425.abstract AB SUMMARY: For patients presenting with clinically isolated syndrome, the treating clinician needs to advise the patient on the probability of conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis. MR imaging may give useful prognostic information, and there is large body of literature pertaining to the use of MR imaging in assessing patients presenting with clinically isolated syndrome. This literature review evaluates the accuracy of MR imaging in predicting which patients with clinically isolated syndrome will go on to develop long-term disease and/or disability. New and emerging MR imaging technologies and their applicability to patients with clinically isolated syndrome are also considered.
