Abstract
= 88.8% and 99.2% at patient-wise and lesion-wise level, respectively). In 21% (12 of 58) of the studies, a clear definition of PRLs was not provided. Conclusion Although PRLs could be identified in approximately half of patients with MS undergoing imaging, the incidence of new PRLs was relatively low, and PRL prevalence was heterogeneous across studies. © RSNA, 2025
