A member asked:
Can normal white matter on mri be an actual brain aneurysm? ct without contrast normal last week showed white matter as well and last year. get mra?

No worries: It is not possible to confuse normal white matter with an aneurysm. But it sounds like you need to have a discussion about the scan with the doctor who ordered it. I'm sure you'll find s/he also is reassuring.
