Specializes in Psychiatry

Mri: White lesion on MRI could have many meanings, depending on reading interpretation, your symptoms, reason for test, etc. Your doctor can go over results of MRI with you since he/she knows your case.

The mri if my brain show a white matter lesion. The radiologist mentioned a whole bunch of possiblities but a tumor was not one of them. Should I be concerned about it even though they didn't mention it?
