Abnormal MRI: You do not provide with any clinical information. therefore I would like to know why you had the MRI, obviously you have symptoms. White spots, are dense, calcium filled nodules as seen in osteoarthritis, degenerative disk disorders, which may impinge on the thecal sac and or the spine. You should continue working with your Dr. who ordered the MRI.

There is: no way to answer that without looking at the images or having more specific info. Depending on the sequence parameters, "white spots" in the vertebral bodies could be entirely innocuous, or could signify a significant abnormality. If you can upload the images, you can initiate a HealthTap Concierge consult if you don't want to wait for the results.
