| مستخلص: |
The article argues that the current diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) should be revised. The authors propose that the diagnosis of MS can be made solely based on the presence of dissemination in space (DIS) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), without the need for dissemination in time (DIT) or further clinical events. They argue that MRI can accurately distinguish MS lesions from non-MS lesions and that the requirement for DIT is unnecessary. The authors also suggest incorporating other factors, such as CSF-OCBs and additional MRI acquisitions, to improve the diagnostic criteria. They acknowledge that there are limitations to their proposal and that further research is needed. [Extracted from the article] |
