TL;DR: In 2006, new criteria were proposed in which DIS requires at least one T2 lesion in at least two of four locations (juxtacortical, periventricular, infratentorial, and spinal-cord) and DIT requires a new lesion on a follow-up scan as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xavier Montalban,Mar Tintoré,JK Swanton,Frederik Barkhof,Franz Fazekas,Massimo Filippi,Jette L. Frederiksen,Ludwig Kappos,Jacqueline Palace,Chris H. Polman,Marco Rovaris,N. De Stefano,Alan J. Thompson,Tarek A. Yousry,Alex Rovira,David Miller +15 more
TL;DR: Information that may simplify the existing MS diagnostic criteria, while maintaining a high specificity that is essential to minimize false positive diagnoses is reviewed and discussed and integrated in this position paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of MRI criteria for multiple sclerosis in patients with clinically isolated syndromes
JK Swanton,K Fernando,Catherine M. Dalton,KA Miszkiel,Alan J. Thompson,Gordon T. Plant,David Miller +6 more
TL;DR: The modified McDonald criteria for dissemination in space and time for assessing the development of clinically definite multiple sclerosis were more sensitive and more accurate than the original criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The correlation between elevated Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) immunoglobulin G (IgG) and gadolinium-enhancing lesions suggests an association between EBV infection and multiple sclerosis (MS) disease activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Single, Early Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study in the Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis
Alex Rovira,JK Swanton,Mar Tintoré,E. Huerga,F. Barkhof,Massimo Filippi,Jette L. Frederiksen,Anne Langkilde,Katherine A. Miszkiel,Chris H. Polman,Marco Rovaris,Jaume Sastre-Garriga,David Miller,Xavier Montalban +13 more
TL;DR: A single brain MRI study that demonstrates demyelinating lesions with dissemination in space and shows both gadolinium-enhancing and nonenhancing lesions that suggest DIT is highly specific for predicting the early development of CDMS is found, even when the MRI is performed within the first 3 months after the onset of a CIS.
