That's an interesting way to look at it, Chez.

I guess I was thinking more along the lines of people NOT getting the proper dx of MS because the MRI didn't show enough accuracy of information.

There was a study done with that focus, and it was determined that very few lesions were visible on an MRI, in certain parts of the brain. They were able to confirm this by reviewing the MRI's (taken prior to death) to the autopsy results.
