Read our Multiple Sclerosis research guide →Researchers are testing whether a newer MRI imaging method called MP2RAGE can better detect spinal cord lesions in people with multiple sclerosis. Currently, doctors use standard MRI sequences that sometimes miss small spinal cord damage, especially in the neck area. This study will compare how well the new MP2RAGE method finds these lesions compared to the standard imaging approaches.
Detecting spinal cord damage is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring multiple sclerosis, but current standard MRI techniques often miss small lesions—particularly in the cervical (neck) region of the spine. This trial exists to see if the newer imaging technique can more reliably catch these lesions, which would help doctors diagnose MS more accurately and monitor patients better.

You will come to the imaging center for an MRI scan of your spinal cord. During the scan, the radiologists will use both the standard MRI sequences and the newer MP2RAGE imaging technique to create detailed pictures of your spinal cord. The scan itself is painless and non-invasive, though you'll need to lie still in the MRI machine for the duration of the imaging. Your participation helps researchers determine whether this new imaging method can better detect spinal cord damage in MS patients.
