Enligt en studie publicerad i tidskriften *Radiology *kan undersökning med proton MR spektroskopi möjliggöra en tidigare upptäckt av förändringar i hjärnan vid MS.

65 personer med MS deltog i studien.

"… proton MR spectroscopy shows promise, since it can identify substances produced by a person’s metabolism that could indicate the presence of MS"
"The findings could translate to earlier diagnosis and treatment, "

"MR spectroscopic imaging at 7.0 T allowed in vivo visualization of multiple sclerosis pathologic findings not visible at T1- or T2-weighted MRI. Metabolic abnormalities in the normal-appearing white matter and cortical gray matter were associated with disability."
