[Abstract] Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common inflammatory demyelinating disease in the central nervous system, and its pathogenesis is still unknown. In recent years, studies have shown that iron and oxidative stress are involved in the pathogenesis of MS, but the specific temporal and spatial dynamic changes have not been fully clarified. Therefore, the non-invasive quantitative evaluation of iron and oxidative stress in MS lesions with multi-parameter MRI is of great significance to reveal the different pathological characteristics of MS in different stages. This article reviews the potential pathogenic mechanism of iron and oxidative stress in multiple sclerosis and the corresponding research progress of MRI.
