I saw a patient the other day who was looking for another neurologist. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis several years ago, but in all that time no one had ever shown her the MRI's used to make the diagnosis. MRI's are like fancy cameras that take pictures of the body with different lenses and filters. Every patient can understand these pictures when you take the time to explain them, because as we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words. MRI is the single most elegant development in neurology since its inception. It has revolutionized how we look at Multiple Sclerosis. Every patient deserves to see his or her MRI's. We always do that at our Multiple Sclerosis Center.  It's just a part of the way we see Multiple Sclerosis  patients, as people who happen to have Multiple Sclerosis  - by Vernon Rowe, MD
