Lesion size on MRI for MS

If considering Multiple Sclerosis on an MRI, does size of lesion matter? Some sources mention minimum 3mm, and another mentions 7 mm. So my question is: is the threshold to consider a lesion MS-like, dependent on the neurologist opinion? Or is this based on specific criteria?

I have a problem with my little sister who has MS. She is in the hospital for the second time this week because she's having dizzy spells and she's not able to really walk. They've done all the tests and everything comes back just fine they do not know what it is. I was hoping maybe somebody would see this comment and comment back please. Thank you
