Follow up appt.: You should have had a follow up appointment with the ordering physician to discuss the results. Call their office to make that follow up appointment and discuss the situation with them.

Comments: Not clear why you had MRI, but findings appear nonspecific. This could be a consequence of prior head injury, microvascular angiopathy of aging, smoking, hypertension, high blood lipids, certain medications, etc. Do heed advice to talk to your doctors directly, as that is most reassuring.
