The inflammation prevents proper recovery and repair of axonal myelination. 10. How does an MRI and spinal tap help confirm the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis? (1 point) -- An MRI helps confirm the diagnosis of MS because it examines the cerebrospinal fluid detecting any abnormalities. A spinal tap
