Educational level and PA are significantly associated with reduced MSSS, and both contribute to a less severe MS clinical course. Current MS management protocols should consider lifestyle changes to improve the quality of life of patients with MS.

The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) convened an international panel of MRI experts to review and update the current guidelines. The objective was to update the standardized MRI protocol and clinical guidelines for diagnosis and follow-up of MS and develop strategies for advocacy, dissemination, and implementation. Conference attendees included neurologists, radiologists, technologists, and imaging scientists with expertise in MS. Representatives from the CMSC, Magnetic Resonance Imaging in MS (MAGNIMS), North American Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis Cooperative, US Department of Veteran Affairs, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Multiple Sclerosis Association of America, MRI manufacturers, and commercial image analysis companies were present. Before the meeting, CMSC members were surveyed about standardized MRI protocols, gadolinium use, need for diffusion-weighted imaging, and the central vein sign. The panel worked to make the CMSC and MAGNIMS MRI protocols similar so that the updated guidelines could ultimately be accepted by international consensus. Advocacy efforts will promote the importance
