Abstract

MRI has improved the diagnostic work-up of multiple sclerosis, but inappropriate image interpretation has contributed to misdiagnosis. Filippi et al. provide a practical guide to the proper recognition of multiple sclerosis lesions, including a thorough description and illustration of typical MRI features, as well as a discussion of red flags suggestive of alternative diagnoses.
