Paramagnetic Rim Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis Diagnostics
The 2024 revisions of the McDonald criteria now include paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) as part of the diagnostic framework for multiple sclerosis, highlighting their evolution as a marker for disease progression.

Why it matters
This inclusion may enhance the accuracy of MS diagnosis and the understanding of disease progression, allowing for potentially better management of the condition.
What this does not prove
However, the recommendations do not cover how to set phase-image displays, which can affect the visibility of PRLs, potentially leading to missed diagnoses.

findingsThe 2024 revisions of the McDonald criteria incorporate the paramagnetic rim lesion (PRL) into the diagnostic framework of multiple sclerosis, and PRL evolution is increasingly recognized as a marker of disease progression.
limitationsCurrent consensus recommendations provide detailed guidance on acquisition parameters yet do not address the phase-image window/level applied at the reading workstation; an inappropriate phase window can render rims invisible.
