Abstract
In 2010, the second revision of the McDonald criteria for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis was proposed. Based on new evidence, the imaging criteria for demonstration of dissemination of central nervous system lesions in space and time have been simplified, which will allow broader application in a more uniform manner. In some circumstances, dissemination in space and time can be demonstrated in a single scan. The revision simplifies the criteria and allows accelerated diagnostic procedures while preserving their sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, the applicability across populations and in children is addressed.
