how to read a brain mri white spots?


Question:


Answers:
Nobody could really answer this question with the information you gave. A fluid filled area (such as a cyst) can look white on a T2 MRI sequence, but can look much different on a T1 sequence or almost black on a FLAIR sequence. An area that looks white on a FLAIR, can look darker on a T1. So you would have to know on what sequence is it white.

Take your films or at least your report to your doctor, or better yet, a neurologist. They should easily be able to answer your questions. Remember, there are no dumb questions. Good luck to you.

Other Answers:
Check out this information. Have they done any blood work? What is your white blood count? Anything abnormal.
