Comprehensive MR measurements including assessment of brain and spinal cord volume changes have the potential to improve patient monitoring, allow earlier detection of subclinical disease activity, and identify patients with depleted brain reserve who are at highest risk of disability progression. Cerebral atrophy measurements are now a secondary outcome of many clinical trials, although their wider use in routine clinical practice is still hampered by some technical limitations. However, evidence from clinical practice shows that assessment of brain and spinal cord volume change is feasible and has the potential to improve patient treatment. 606 $aMedicine$2bicssc 610 $abrain atrophy 610 $acerebral atrophy 610 $adiagnosis 610 $adisease 610 $amagnetic resonance 610 $ameasurements 610 $amonitoring 610 $amultiple sclerosis 615 7$aMedicine 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910758478403321 996 $aClinical Relevance of Brain Atrophy Measures in Multiple Sclerosis$93599743 997 $aUNINA
