Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neuredegenerative disease which is associated with marked brain atrophy.The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a means of predicting subsequent disability.Brain atrophy occurs early in MS and progresses throughout the course of the disease and affects both gray matter and white matter.Advances in MRI techniques and image processing software are improving data quality and allowing new outcome measures, such as a whole brain and local cortical thickness measurements, with acceptable processing times.Measurements of brain atrophy are likely to play an increasing role in MS research and in the diagnosis and staging of the disease.MR features and MR methods will be discussed, especially the behaviour of different groups of drugs (corticosteroids, interferon lb, monoclonal antibodies, S1P receptor blocker).
