Research progress of MRI for cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common inflammatory demyelinating disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). It may be accompanied by cognitive impairment, however, the mechanism for cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis is still unknown. More and more MRI techniques are used to improve the understanding on pathogenetic mechanism of cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis. This paper summarizes MRI measures currently available to explain the possible mechanism for cognitive impairment of multiple sclerosis.
