This is what the report says but I'm not sure what this means, anyone out there that can help?
"Few non specific T2 hyperintense millimeter sized foci in deep white matter of parietal lobes bilaterally."
"T2/FLAIR hyperintensitiey is in the periventricular and subcortical deep white matter. 8 supratentorial lesions. None of these show any typical configuration."
What does this mean?
Thanks, Jenn
Black holes which are evidence of permanent damage to the nerves themselves from old/past events
T2 lesions which are most common
Enhancing lesions which are also T2 lesions but they also enhance or "light up" with contrast meaning those are new, active inflammatory lesions. Enhancement goes away after about 6 weeks max. So if it enchances it is new prob less then 6weeks.
Your doctor is the only one though that can tell you specifically for you what that means. Every MRI has to be interpreted in context so let your doctor do that for you. (As others have said)
Thank you very much that was very helpful
Thanks! out of curiosity, what are the three types of MS lesions?
