  • Diagnosis of inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IDD) with similar phenotype to neuromyelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disorder (NMOSD), including optic neuritis (single or bilateral) and transverse myelitis
  • Diagnosis of autoimmune myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-opathy
  • Diagnosis of NMO
  • Distinguishing NMOSD, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), optic neuritis, and transverse myelitis from multiple sclerosis early in the course of disease
  • Diagnosis of ADEM
  • Prediction of a relapsing disease course
