MRI is good only when you know well how to use it
![Page 10: Updates of mri criteria for diagnosis of ms](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022205/58cfab2c1a28ab6b088b5eff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Objectives• Briefly outline the proposed update in MRI Criteria for
diagnosis of MS by the MAGNIMS 2016
• Putting the proposed MRI criteria into clinical application
• Relevance of the criteria specifically to Egyptian population
• Presenting the data-driven evidence as simple as possible
![Page 11: Updates of mri criteria for diagnosis of ms](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022205/58cfab2c1a28ab6b088b5eff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Two types of MRI Criteria we Actually Need for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Differentiate MS from Other Neurological Disorders (OND)
Differentiate patients who will/will not show subsequent
relapses and damage
e.g MS vs. (Lupus, Vasculitidies)
e.g Relapsing MS vs. Isolated Optic Neuritis

The Question that the MRI Criteria Really Answers
• Predicts converters versus non-converters to CDMS
• Differentiates demyelinating vs. non-specific / migraneous changes
![Page 15: Updates of mri criteria for diagnosis of ms](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022205/58cfab2c1a28ab6b088b5eff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Prediction of later on Disease Development (Clinically Definite CDMS)
• Dissemination in time (the disease is ongoing)
• Dissemination in space (the pathology is not isolated)
![Page 16: Updates of mri criteria for diagnosis of ms](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022205/58cfab2c1a28ab6b088b5eff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

MRI in MS Diagnosis• MRI has been proposed as an alternative (surrogate) to clinical events
(2001) Criteria.• McDonald’s 2005, increased value of spinal cord imaging, earlier
diagnosis• McDonald’s 2010, less complex, focuses on lesion location rather than
count,
DIT An Enhancing and Non-enhancing lesions New T2 lesion at any time
DISOne or More lesion at Two or more sites
Symptomatic infratentorial lesions not counted (for space or time dissemination)

Revised Non-symptomatic lesion concept
153 CIS Patients
ECTRIMS 2014Factors that determine disease course: the symptomatic lesion matters. 1000 CIS subgroup analysis.
Brainstem syndromes with a unique symptomatic lesion in the brainstem or cerebellum have a higher risk of developing MS than patients with 0 lesions. Despite the recommendations of the 2010 McDonald criteria, the symptomatic lesion matters in terms of risk of developing MS and accumulation of disability.
Tintore’ et. al, 2014

for dissemination in time or space

Cortical Lesions• Pathologically Relevant
• Shows more specificity to MS compared to other disorders (e.g NMO and Migraine)
• Identified in more than 30% of CIS patients in a number of studies
![Page 33: Updates of mri criteria for diagnosis of ms](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022205/58cfab2c1a28ab6b088b5eff/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Practical Considerations• Low inter-observer agreement
• MR imaging shows a small fraction of the actual burden
• Special MRI preparation (1.5 Tesla and at least 3mm slice thickness).
• Definite diagnostic yield value not present (how many patients per one positive result?)
![Page 35: Updates of mri criteria for diagnosis of ms](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022205/58cfab2c1a28ab6b088b5eff/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
