Spinal Cord Lesion Detection in Multiple Sclerosis Using Novel MRI Sequences

This study is testing new types of MRI scans to better detect damage to the spinal cord in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Spinal cord lesions can be hard to see with standard MRI, so researchers are trialing advanced imaging sequences to improve detection accuracy. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis according to established clinical criteria - You have not taken steroids for at least 4 weeks before the study - You are already participating in the Swiss MS Cohort study **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have another serious neurological, internal, or psychiatric illness affecting the spinal cord - You have a pacemaker or metal implants in your body that are not MRI-safe - You have claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces) - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have a known allergy to gadolinium contrast dye used in MRI Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
