Banding isn't present in everyone's spinal fluid that goes on to be diagnosed with MS, nor do all neurologists test for it.
With that said, a positive MRI isn't present in every MS diagnosis.
If you have an MRI that's a positive and fits within the criteria otherwise for MS (for example), the spinal is sometimes avoided all together.
I'm sure quite a few folks here will tell you they never had a spinal.
