Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Planned implementation of a contrast enhanced cerebral or spinal MRI in patients with multiple sclerosis (including clinically isolated syndrome and radiologically isolated syndrome)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Age of patient < 18 years, other current present neurological diseases such as stroke, dementia, M. Parkinson or similar.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The diagnostic accuracy of the S100B biomarker-test, determined through an ROC-analysis ("area under the curve" (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value), which means the respective serum concentration, which separates patients with contrast enhancing lesions and without. The Parameter is measured in a time span of 5 days before or after the MRI.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary criteria are further biomarkers (GFAP, MMP-9, Endothelin) in a time span of 5 days before or after the MRI.
