MRI Showed Small Bleed Spots, White Spot Size Of A Nickle. Another Mri Requested. Advise?
My mother recently had an MRI with contrast of her brain for neurologic reasons. The appointment with the results was today. Aside from some small "bleed" spots, there was a white spot almost the size of a nickle on the front ofhr skull above her right eye. They have requested that she have another MRI in July (six months from the time of the first one) and do not believe it is neurologic. Should I be worried?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The description of MRI is incomplete for us to give any opinion. So, I would appreciate if you can upload a pdf copy of the MRI brain report.
However, if the doctor has said to wait for six months, then there is no need to worry, as it would be a minor or insignificant finding.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
