MRI Predictors of Early Conversion to Clinically Definite MS in the CHAMPS Placebo Group
Neurol 59:998-1005, CHAMPS Study Group, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
For patients with positive MRI at the time of their initial neurologic event, both gadolinium-enhancing lesions and the Barkhof criteria are predictors for development of CDMS over a short interval. However, these results, based on a combin ed CDMS/MRI outcome, suggest that the majority of these patients are already in the earliest stages of MS, regardless of whether any further MRI criteria are met.
