WEDNESDAY, Nov. 12 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests that treating multiple sclerosis with the drug interferon only works for about half of patients.

The results were based solely on MRI brain lesions. We know brain lesions come and go on their own in MS patients. There is remitting and relapsing episodes of the disease which will effect test results.

In other words, the accuracy of the MRI findings are suspect at best.
