Study Summary
* The investigators are conducting a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study comparing two MRI contrast agents in people with clinically isolated syndrome and relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a disease that affects the white matter and gray matter in the brain. MRI is used as a gold standard to visualize the degenerative changes in the brain and spine. The neurologist will usually order an MRI to confirm the diagnosis of MS using conventional imaging methods. These images reveal two main pieces of information regarding (a) the location of the lesions and (b) the status of the lesions. While the location of the lesions directly correlates with the clinical symptoms, the information about the status of the lesions informs the neurologist whether the lesion is new (active) or old (chronic). * This ability to differentiate new and old lesions requires the use of a contrast agent. Currently, used agents reveal some lesions but it is unclear if they reveal the full extent of the disease. In new lesions, there may be a leakiness in the blood vessels and if the contrast agent leaks out then the investigators can see this. In healthy controls, the blood brain barrier is usually intact and this leak does not happen. One open question is: "can the extravasation of the contrast agent to the brain precede the major tissue damage that we see in the structural MRI?" * Recently, a new FDA approved contrast agent (Gadavist) has been released and has enhanced characteristics in terms of affecting the MR signal resulting in a better contrast in the image and therefore, better diagnosis of the status of the disease. Given its high relaxivity, a small amount of Gadavist may show a better signal enhancement affected tissue for multiple sclerosis patients. The investigators hypothesize that Gadavist will reveal more tissue damage (lesions) than Magnevist and, therefore, may present a better tool for early diagnosis of brain damage. * The investigators' goal in this resear
