Recent advances in our understanding of the diagnosis, imaging, pathology, and clinical monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS) have significantly increased our ability to successfully treat this often perplexing neurologic disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now integral to the diagnostic process. Treatment of MS can be considered as three parallel pathways: treatment of relapses, symptom management, and long-term prevention of tissue injury.
我们对多发性硬化症(MS)的诊断、影像学、病理学及临床监测的最新认识进展,显著提高了我们成功治疗这种常令人困惑的神经系统疾病的能力。磁共振成像(MRI)现已成为诊断过程中不可或缺的一部分。MS的治疗可视为三条并行途径:复发治疗、症状管理以及组织损伤的长期预防。
