[Abstract] The incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS) is on the rise globally. MS is believed to be caused by complex gene-environmental factors, but the specific pathogenesis is still unknown. Early detection and treatment is an important means to delay or reduce MS disability rate. With the development of technology and the emergence of new sequences, MRI becomes more important in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and the clinical value of monitoring the progress. Advanced MRI techniques are helpful to further explore the pathogenesis of MS. Currently, MS is considered as a brain isomerism process characterized by extensive damage to the central nervous system and not just multiple focal demyelination of the white matter. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI), which is considered a specific marker of axonal dysfunction, can reliably support the hypothesis of generalized disease impairment. In this paper, the application of craniocerebral qMRI in MS in recent years is reviewed.
