Are MS symptoms linked to specific lesion locations, and could these links be identified through a comprehensive database of MS MRI images?

I've asked my doctor for information on the effects of the placements within my brain of certain lesions. There is currently no real knowledge base to say that a lesion in a certain spot could cause symptom A or symptom B. If there were enough scans with corresponding patient symptoms I believe we could start seeing patterns and relationships between damaged locations and symptoms. We could start to understand the disease from a statistical point of view we haven't had before. Considering we have the ability to share all of this information digitally today it would be relatively simple to put a database together amongst the largest healthcare organizations specializing in MS.
