MRI--the perfect surrogate marker for multiple sclerosis?

Frederik Barkhof et al. Nat Rev Neurol. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

MRI provides a very sensitive reflection of the histopathological changes in multiple sclerosis. Many short-term studies fail to appreciate the relationship between MRI and clinical findings, although such shortcomings might be argued to reflect a weakness of clinical measures, rather than of MRI.
