Scans often identify MS lesions in the periventricular white matter of the brain, the optic nerves, or the spinal cord. A contrast MRI can help doctors identify any active lesions. These types of ...

Corresponding hyperintense lesions in the posterior column of the spinal cord were found in two patients by T2 weighted MRI. Damage to the central motor pathway was identified in four patients.
