This small Trends in Neuroscience text is a derivative of the 6th Annual Advanced Course on the Use of Magnetic Resonance Techniques in Multiple Sclerosis, a workshop that was conducted in Milan, Italy, on June 1, 2002. The editors, Massimo Filippi and Giancarlo Comi, have assembled one of the premier multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical and research centers in the world. Collectively, their investigations have yielded among the most productive contributions to the literature on imaging in MS. As such, they were imminently qualified to orchestrate the development of this publication.

While a "short course" on an area of such great sophistication as advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in MS cannot hope to integrate all aspects of these techniques, this Filippi and Comi primer did cover magnetization transfer, diffusion-weighted, perfusion, and functional MRI techniques. In addition, there were chapters on the very exciting areas of cell-specific imaging and in vivo . . . [Full Text of this Article]
