AI brain scans could revolutionize MS care
NCT ID NCT07032246
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using an AI tool to analyze brain MRIs helps doctors spot signs of multiple sclerosis (MS) activity more accurately. About 750 people with MS or early warning signs will be split into two groups: one where doctors use the AI tool, and one where they rely on standard MRI reports. The goal is to see if AI leads to better treatment decisions and fewer MS flare-ups over two years.
