Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Blooming is MRI finding related to blood.You have blooming in left frontal subcortical white matter and it is due to petechial bleed.There are also scattered T2 weighted hyper intensities in white matter of brain .
It is due to ischemic changes(decreased blood supply) involving small blood vessels.It is most commonly due to systemic diseases like hypertension, diabetes mellitus etc. so you should be screened for these conditions and need treatment if suffering from these diseases.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
