Abstract

It is now well established that clinically stable patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis have ongoing disease activity when evaluated by serial gadolinium-enhanced (Gd-DTPA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Despite this, the relationship between clinical disease and MRI lesions, though suspected, has not been extensively documented. The relationship between Gd-DTPA MRI lesions and clinical disease was examined in this study of 9 patients with mild relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS]
