A member asked:

What does a hypodense white matter lesion on ct scan mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

White matter lesions: Lesions in the brain are not good. Hypodense lesions are seen which lead to further studies to evaluate the lesions for infection or malignancy. Discuss any findings with your neurologist (ms, sarcoid) or neurosurgeon.
