multiple sclerosis

World Multiple Sclerosis Day, as a day of global solidarity, emphasizes the need to raise awareness of this disease, improve diagnosis and treatment, and fund research to curb multiple sclerosis.

At mediri we develop and refine structural analysis methods to support the diagnosis and follow-up of multiple sclerosis.
An important imaging biomarker for MS is smouldering lesions. Their AI-aided detection on MR images also makes disease activity visible that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Have you read one of the latest publications on iron rim lesions in multiple sclerosis by our research partners at the Universitätsmedizin Mannheim? The authors around Prof. Achim Gass conclude that iron rim lesions are associated with higher intrathecal immunoglobin G synthesis. Furthermore, CSF-mediated intrathecal smouldering inflammation could explain a CSF-related gradient of tissue damage.
