Purpose: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of 1.5T and 3.0T with regard to the detection of inflammatory lesions in patients with clinically isolated syndromes (CIS) and to investigate the impact of possibly different detection rates on the classification of patients according to the Barkhof MRI criteria. Methods: 19 Patients with CIS suggestive of MS were examined at a 1.5T and 3.0T system using axial T2 Turbo Spin Echo (T2 TSE) (1.5T: TE 100 ms, TR 3500 ms; 3.0T: TE 100 ms, TR 4100 ms), Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) (1.5T: TE 110 ms, TR 6000 ms, TI 2000 ms; 3.0T: TE 140 ms, TR 12000 ms, TI 285…
