A member asked:
Two small white matter lesions on brain that do not enhance with contrast. they weren't present on an mri from 2014. what can this be??

Correlation: You do not provide information regarding why MRI films have been done twice, but the description of the lesions suggests nonspecific findings. Such lesions can occur due to head injury, smoking, inflammation, migraine, and even multiple sclerosis. In absence of further information, cannot correlate further. We could expand upon the considerations if a Concierge visit is scheduled.
