Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) is technique based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), it is achieved through an MRI acquisition with multiple small b value to extract perfusion data. It has been shown to be a promising technique in evaluation of many brain conditions. This study seeks to assess intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters in characterizing plaques and specific tissues in multiple sclerosis.

Accepted
You may be eligible if
1. Patients who are 18 years or older.
2. Relapsing-remitting MS diagnosed as per Macdonald criteria
You may not be if
1. Contraindication to MRI. For example, metal implantation in the body, claustrophobia and pregnancy.
2. Patients who are unable to tolerate the scans without moving the head as a result of symptoms such as tremor, spasticity, involuntary movements and spasms, cognitive impairment, coughing, and shortness of breath.
