Is Scattered Non Enhancing Foci, T2/FLAIR Signal In The Periventricular And Subcortical Deep White Matter A Concern?
My MRI results say, a few to several scattered non enhancing foci o hyper intense T2/FLAIR signal in the periventricular and subcortical deep white matter, currently non-specific, possibly gloss. The largest of these measure 7mm located in the right temporoparietal white matter. What does this mean?
