[Abstract] During the last two decades, since the most sensitive of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, MRI has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring. But, the application of MRI in every day clinical practice is still suboptimal. For this reason, an expert group on MS of Spain Society of Neurology, based on an extensive review of the literature and on their own experience, produced a consensus on recommendations for using and interpreting MRI results in MS. It provides methods for different type and course of MS. These guidelines are intended to assist in the use of conventional MRI for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with MS. In addition, they should provide a foundation for the development of non-conventional MRI techniques in clinical application and studies of MS. This article interprets the guideline, illustrates the contents, provides relevant knowledge and addresses some points with author’s sight, in order to assist in Chinese medical practice.
