February 19, 2016 Proquest Article Advancements in MRI Technology Assist Doctors in Predicting Progression of Multiple Sclerosis PR Newswire [New York] 23 Apr 1999: 1 http://search.proquest.com/docview/449766206/719693D0B8E44E88PQ/5? accountid=35028 Synopsis: TORONTO, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- A study presented today at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting shows increasing evidence that doctors can use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) not only to diagnose multiple sclerosis, but also to help predict the disease course. The multi-center trial conducted in Europe and Canada measured the effect of COPAXONE(R) (glatiramer acetate for injection) on patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Jerry S. Wolinsky, M.D., director of the Multiple Sclerosis Research Group at The University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center, consulted on the study, and he sees many parallels between this study and clinical studies conducted at The University of Texas. "The data collected proves a direct correlation between what we were finding scientifically and clinically. For patients, these findings are significant," Dr. Wolinsky said. "The MRI scans can help us look into the patient's brain and help predict what physical symptoms we will see in the future. This will help us select and evaluate drug therapies for patients." Comments: Prediction it is an ideal factor in the medicinal and therapeutic environment.. It is under the label of prevention, which is as we all know is better than cure. People nowadays suffer because of their respective sickness, due to their actions take place after already being diagnosed severly. In this article foretold us that in Magnetic Resonace Imaging could help save your life from multiple sclerosis due to prediction in such cases of diagnosis.
