Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to develop novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols suitable for patients with multiple sclerosis using advanced MRI such as rotating frame relaxation imaging. In addition, the investigators want to study the correlation between advanced MRI parameters and clinical disease progression.
