Q2. What are the future works in "Association between pathological and mri findings in multiple sclerosis: an update" ?
Advances in the field have also resulted in new questions, which will stimulate further research. Future research should focus on the early stages of the disease, include cohorts with clinically representative cases of different phenotypes, and seek causative information via repeated imaging. Determining timing and duration of the potential for remyelination in different CNS structures is of crucial importance, since promoting remyelination is one of the main objectives of current treatments. Since low-grade inflammation may be 19 present at the border of some lesions in selected patients, there is a need to identify pathological, imaging and clinical features of these lesions, to move towards individualized treatment.
Q3. What is the role of MRI in evaluating other pathological processes?
The role ofMRI in evaluating other pathological processes, such as leptomeningeal involvement, central veinand rim of lesions, microstructural abnormalities and iron accumulation as well as recoverymechanisms, has been recently investigated.
Q4. What is the name of the workshop?
Pathological evaluation is the gold standard for identifying multiple sclerosis (MS)-relatedprocesses that explain clinical disease manifestations and for guiding the development of newtreatments.
Q5. What is the name of the conference?
Correlative studies have demonstrated that MRI is sensitive to the differentpathological substrates of MS (inflammation, demyelination and neuro-axonal loss).
Q6. What are the limitations of the MRI technique?
there are intrinsic limitations to the techniques employed, including thelimited amount of donors available, samples often representing uncommon cases, and impossibilityof follow-up.
