About this trial
CLUE is a prospective study to assess structural and functional changes of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve, as well as the inflammatory environment in patients with neuroinflammatory and demyelinating diseases. Participants will receive magnetic resonance (MR) techniques including DIR, DKI, QSM, Rs-fMRI, conventional sequences (T1WI/T2WI/FLAIR), and the MR metabolic SPICE sequence, and will be followed up for one year using 3T MRI. In addition, participants will receive a one-time baseline examination including T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR, and SWI sequences on 7T MRI, as well as PET-MRI.
