A member asked:
A few scattered punctate foci of increased t2/flair signal of the supratentorial white matter which is nonspecific meaning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It means you may have tiny lesions in white matter where nerve fibers extend away from nerve cells. The increased signals may indicate areas of injury due to ischemia (lack of oxygen) or other causes. They are too small and few in number to be significant. If you are worried, discuss your concerns with your Dr. You can change your diet, exercise regularly, manage stress and quit smoking if you do.
