Multiple sclerosis. Axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain of a 40-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis. The scan shows white areas around the ventricles (centre) that are a sign of the demyelination of the nerves that occurs in this condition. This is a T1 MRI scan, with the use of gadolinium as a contrast medium.
