What Does My MRI Scan Report Indicate?

I was told by my neurologist that the visible white spots are possible ms and she has recommended a lumbar puncture.
It may be due to many causes like MS,ischemic changes etc.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
There are few hyper intensities in white matter of brain. It may be due to many causes like MS, ischemic changes, etc. Your neurologist will be able to arrive at the diagnosis / cause after correlating it clinically and after further investigations like spinal fluid examination by lumbar puncture.
There are many typical clinical features of MS, which I expect must have been evaluated.
You may also need follow up MRI.
Besides clinical correlation, you may need routine investigations like routine hemogram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, liver and renal function test. If you haven't visited a neurologist / undergone these tests, I will recommend you consider it.
