Magnetic resonance and multiple sclerosis I. Conventional diagnostic techniques
Ugeskr Laeger 2002, 164(8), , 1026-1031

Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is still the standard technique in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), despite low pathological specificity and poor correlation to the disability.
