Not all brain spots are the same. Thanks to new MRI updates, we can now spot imaging markers that set MS apart, including the Central Vein Sign (CVS) and Paramagnetic Rim Lesions (PRLs). Critical updates like these are now a part of the 2024 McDonald Diagnostic Criteria, helping doctors diagnose MS faster and more accurately. MS is complex, but with better tools, we’re beginning to see a clearer picture: https://ntlms.org/dx24mriadvances | National Multiple Sclerosis Society
