Multiple Sclerosis – the desease of a thousand faces. Until a few decades ago, it was still largely unexplored, but medicine is making rapid progress and there is much reason for hope. The disease is becoming better and better understood, more and more treatment methods are being discovered and thanks to MRI, Multiple Sclerosis is diagnosed earlier and more reliably.
