Imaging findings of inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system

Abstract

This article reviews MRI findings of the autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system ; multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), and myelin–oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody–related disorders (MOGRD). MRI findings are useful for diagnosing these 3 diseases and excluding differential diseases. It is important to be familiar with their characteristic sites and morphology.
