Why it matters
Understanding MRI's role in MOGAD can improve diagnostic accuracy and promote standardized practices, leading to better patient management.
What this does not prove
The study does not connect to MS efficacy and notes that MOGAD has less clinical utility for routine MRI surveillance due to rare asymptomatic activity.

study designOBSERVATIONS: This article summarizes the hallmark MRI features of optic nerve, brain, and spinal cord involvement in MOGAD, including key findings from the 2023 diagnostic criteria, supported by illustrative figures and detailed tables.
findingsCONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: MRI is central to MOGAD evaluation, and recognition of the characteristic imaging features and lesion dynamics outlined in this review can aid diagnosis.
findingsApplication of the standardized MRI protocol summarized here can optimize use in clinical practice and promote harmonization across research studies.
limitationsThe clinical course of MOGAD is of attack-related neuroinflammation evident clinically and radiologically, and asymptomatic radiological activity is rare, suggesting that surveillance MRI has less clinical utility than in MS and less value as a surrogate biomarker in clinical trials.
