[Abstract] The treatment of demyelinating diseases focuses on protecting myelin integrity and promoting myelin repair, and these efforts are inseparable from effective imaging tools and agents that link disease progression to the degree of myelin formation. In recent years, the development of myelin-specific probes has made it possible to directly and quantitatively monitor myelin content in vivo. The imaging technology of various marrow sheaths has become increasingly mature and greatly improved the specificity and sensitivity of monitoring myelin sheath. The complementary advantages of different myelin probes and imaging methods can provide more options for the detection and treatment of clinical demyelinating diseases in the future. This article reviews the progress of myelin probes used in optical imaging, nuclear medicine imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and multimodal imaging in demyelinating diseases.
