Overdiagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Criteria
Ann Neurol 58:781-783, Nielsen,J.M.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The criteria for dissemination in space incorporated in the McDonald International Panel showed good specificity (89%). However, the more sensitive criteria proposed by a Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology resulted in a lower specificity (29%), indicating an increased risk of a false-positive diagnosis.
