A member asked:
Mr of the brain showed foci of abnormal highh signal in deep white matter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High signal MRI: This finding in MRI of brain is non-specific. Most of them are due to microvascular disease associated with high blood pressure and diabetes. Some due to old damage. Also can be seen in diseases such as multiple sclerosi. Your doctor will decide if he or she should go further base on your sign and symptoms.
