Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
In the MRI report, the following findings have been mentioned.
1. There is probably age related little decrease in size of brain and in its appearance - nothing serious.
2. Small areas in the brain also changes due to decreased blood supply in the cerebellum, basal ganglia, thalamus and corona radiata. Though isolated such areas are not serious findings, involvement of larger areas in future may be prevented by taking medicines.
3. The fluid containing spaces in brain, ventricles are also little bigger in size - age related changes.
Hope this helps.
