According to current criteria, if both your brain and spinal MRIs are negative, you don't get a diagnosis of MS. A small percentage of people (<5%) with initially normal imaging will go on to develop MS. These are usually people who are largely asymptomatic and have been picked up with optic neuritis at the opticians or something.
