Emerging Principles & Practices for Imaging

The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation (GJCF) NMOSD Grand Rounds program aims to inform practicing neurology specialists and the broader spectrum of neurologists and allied healthcare providers regarding the latest information in evidence-based science and medicine of NMOSD. This program features 12 essential topics addressed by experts in the field monthly. Organized and curated by GJCF advisors, this series of educational webinars enables continuing medical education (CME) credit.

Session entitled “Emerging Principles & Practices for Imaging” is designed to update knowledge important for recognition of MRI and OCT imaging relative to neurologic signs and symptoms characteristic of NMOSD vs. MOGAD or MS. Application of this knowledge is intended to aid early and accurate recognition of NMOSD and distinguish it from closely related disorders such as MOGAD or MS.

Educational Objectives:
After completing this activity, learners will be able to:

1. Describe the role of imaging in the current NMOSD diagnostic criteria.
2. Differentiate NMOSD from MOGAD and MS using imaging findings.
3. Identify imaging red flags that suggest alternative diagnoses..

The estimated time to complete this activity is 1 hour.
