Default Radiologist Neurologist question??

I was dx with MS in Jan 2010....at that time my Brain MRI report said a few non-specfic small white matter T2 hyperintensities, none on the corpus callosum. But when my Neuro looked at the MRI disc, he said approximately 10white matter lesions consistant with MS (even one on the corpus callosum) .....that is when he diagnosed me.

On Tuesday this week, I had another brain MRI....and the report says...there are a few small foci of T2 hyperintensity within the subcoritical white matter of the cerebral hemispheres bilaterally. These lesions are not specific for MS, but it would be difficult to totally exclude demyelinating disease. These findings can also be seen with chronic ischemic white matter disease. Chronic migraine headaches could have this appearance as well as vasculitis.

My Neuro has not seen this MRI disc yet.

My question is: How can the Neuro be so sure my lesions are MS....when the Radiologist say these lesions are not specific to MS.
(the two MRI's were done at two different MRI facilites with different Radiologists reading the scans.)

Do you believe the Radiologist report or the Neurologist interpretation??
