Examples of situations when decreased MRI monitoring can be considered

Examples of situations when decreased frequency of MRI monitoring can be considered Examples of situations when stopping the MRI monitoring can be considered
In the setting of MS disease that has been relapse free and radiologically stable during repeated follow‐up without change in therapy and with clinical variables suggesting a favorable disease course In the setting of MS disease in a patient of higher age (>55–60 years old) that has been relapse free and radiologically stable during longer time of repeated follow‐up without DMT and with clinical variables suggesting a favorable disease course
In the setting of RIS or CIS that has been relapse free and radiologically stable during a repeated follow‐up of 3 to 5 years without DMT In the setting of RIS or CIS that has been relapse free and radiologically stable during a longer repeated follow‐up without DMT

MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; MS, multiple sclerosis; RIS, radiologically isolated syndrome; DMT, disease‐modifying treatment.
