Maybe: We develop small signal changes in the deep white matter as we age. However, small lesions in the white matter can also be related to prior trauma, infection, inflammation, demyelination, and other disorders. Small lesions at your age are something that may indicate a problem, or may be normal. The best test for importance is to compare it with a previous MRI looking for worsening changes.
