A 32-year-old male patient with MS and EDSS score of 2 and SDMT of 27. a Axial FLAIR and b axial DIR at the same level showing a small left deep periventricular focus not well seen in the FLAIR images (arrowed). c Axial FLAIR and d axial DIR at the same level showing a right temporal cortical lesion detected on DIR which could be easily missed in FLAIR images. The other lesions seen in the pons and middle cerebellar peduncles are well identified in both sequences. The total number of cortical lesions detected in this case was (6 for DIR and 2 for FLAIR) and periventricular lesions (15 for DIR and 13 for FLAIR)
