Does not seem to be a cause for concern.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have gone through your question and have checked the attached images. I did not find anything concerning. However, I would need you to tell me the complaints for which you sought medical attention and got the MRI done. Based on that I will guide you further.

Brief Answer:
A cerebrovascular accident needs to be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Other than an intensified region of shadow at 0000_Screenshot_0000-002930.png I could not find anything out of place. The extra images did not help. Correlation with the full array of images is needed. I do not think that you need to get anxious. Wait for the report and you can upload it thereafter.
