Hi, there are few small foci of high signal in the white matter of both cerebral hemisphere non specific but likely ischemic.what does mean in mri mr?

Review with Doctor: Usually a few small foci are of little concern, and merely mean that there is some small vessel disease, as occurs with high blood pressure, diabetes, or even with migraines. However, 26 is a pretty young age for age related changes, and should at least be viewed by your doctor.
