Starting with Charcot, diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) have evolved to reflect advances in our understanding of the disease and the development of new diagnostic techniques, and from purely clinical considerations to increasing dependency upon imaging of the central nervous system. The MS diagnostic process was revolutionized by the 1981 introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but the increasing reliance upon this technique has led to a surge in erroneous diagnoses… CONTINUE READING
