A member asked:

Mri if brain showed calcium deposits under the scalp. what does that indicate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odd comment: A brain MRI is unlikely to comment on any calcium deposits under the scalp. Such deposits are outside the skull so the information would be of no significance. Calcium deposits inside the substance of brain tissue would be a problem that requires clinical information to explain.
