My mri report - t2 and flair hyperintensities in a deep white matter distribution. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That will depend: on your age. For example, if you are say 50 or older then one might say this is commonly found in that age group. On the other hand , if you are say 23 years old it is not common in that age group and has other meanings. It is therefore best to talk with your doctor
