Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Assessment of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone. We evaluate whether assessment of new, expanding, and contrast-enhancing MS lesions can be done more time-efficiently by radiologists with assistance of artificial intelligence (AI).
