Overview
MRI can provide some clues to diagnosis. CT is less sensitive and can provide false negative results.
MRI
- Radiographic features:
- MRI
- Extensive gadolinium enhancement of white matter of the brain and spinal cord
- Often extensive and relatively symmetric, often also involving the posterior fossa
- Most lesions enhance with gadolinium, suggestive that all lesions are active, and that the disease is therefore monophasic.
