: Was this done due to cognitive changes? You may possess some atrophy, and the findings in the temporal lobe may correlate with early dementia, BUT, my comments are based upon your description, and it is best that you review the films and correlate with your clinical complaints. Discuss with your doctor and the radiologist.
