What Does This MRI Scan Of Brain Indicate?

Hi,

I would like to know the meaning of the following:

MR Scan of brain reveals normal grey-white matter differentiation of both cerebral hemisphere. There are patchy white matter hyperintense foci on T2 weighted sequence in the perpendicular & subcortal white matter of both cerebral hemispheres. These lesion are iso-to hypointense on T1 & bright on FLAIR sequence. None of these lesions are bright on diffusion sequence. These features are consistent with chronic white matter ischaemic changes due to small vessel arteriosclerotic changes. No mass effect / midline shift seen. bilateral basal ganglia are normal.

Apart from this cerebellar hemispheres & brainstem, internal auditory canal & its content, ventricular system, sellar and parasellar regions, and calvarium are mentioned as normal.

I would appreciate the meaning of this. Please reply in English.

Thanks,
Greg
