A member asked:
I have a hyperintensity of 3mm due to ischaemia in subcortical brain can these hyperintensities heal themselves and how can you prevent future ones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? Ischaemia: I would question whether this hyper intensity truly reflect ischemia. If this was observed on what is known as a diffusion weighted sequence, then it likely reflects ischemia or inflammation. If it was seen on a FLAIR or T2 sequence, and is solitary, this is likely a normal finding that is of no clinical significance.
