Predicting clinical progression in multiple sclerosis: The role of advanced MRI and modelling
08.30 – 08.40: Welcome and Introduction to the Workshop
Frederik Barkhof & Menno Schoonheim
Session 1: Defining clinical progression and predicting it with conventional MRI
Chairs: Eva Strijbis (Amsterdam); Jaume Sastre-Garriga (Barcelona)
• 08.40-08.55 – Definitions of progression: Physical disability
Carmen Tur (Barcelona)
• 08.55-09.10: Definitions of progression: Cognition and other non-motor outcomes
Tom Fuchs (Amsterdam)
• 09.10-09.30: Conventional MRI: Lesions and atrophy (brain and spinal cord)
Rosa Cortese (Siena)
• 09.30-10.00: Round table and discussion. What are the major clinical and imaging gaps in predicting progression at the moment?
Chairs, speakers, Ludwig Kappos (Basel) and Claudio Gasperini (Rome)
10.00-10.20 Coffee break
Session 2: Old dog, new tricks: getting the most out of conventional MRI
Chairs: Gabriele De Luca (Oxford); Olga Ciccarelli (London)

Giuseppe Pontillo (Amsterdam)
• 10.55-11.15: Big data and artificial intelligence to predict progression with conventional MRI
Arman Eshaghi (London)
• 11:15-11.45: Round table and discussion. Can we really gain “new” information from “old” scans?
Chairs, speakers, Nicola De Stefano (Siena) and Menno Schoonheim (Amsterdam)
11.45-12.00 Coffee break 2
Session 3: Advanced MRI sequences and analyses
Chairs: Mara Rocca (Milan); Christian Enzinger (Graz)
