How can they tell clear progression to SPMS?

Does neuronal death show up on MRI's?

Mechanistically it seems to me that any of the RRMS drugs that work well (Tysabri is best) have a chance of delaying the onset of SPMS as they reduce the assault on the myelin and neurons. The reduction in the damage gives the body a chance for repair of the myelin. Tysabri has the best chance of delaying or reducing SPMS. (Of course, I don't have a science or medical background and guess a lot.)
