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.
