Acute clinical events with stable MRI (ACES) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are reportedly associated with significantly higher rates of confirmed disability accrual, relapse-associated worsening, and transition to secondary progressive MS.

Based on surveys of neuro-oncologists taken before and after the use of MRI perfusion imaging and spectroscopy in patients with high-grade gliomas, researchers found the advanced imaging would have led to a greater than fivefold change in patient management in comparison to previous research.
