Flair

what does nonspecific axial FLAIR hyperintense focus is demontrated within the right frontal subcortical white matter mean.

It means you have an area of hyperintensity within the right frontal subcortical white matter.

hi...
nonspecific means that the lesions are not specific to a certain disease....they could be caused from different things..such as migraines, vascular, age....etc.

Axial is the cross section view of the brain.

Flair (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) is a setting on the MRI machine.

hyperintense focus....means it showed up as a lighter brighter area or lesion.

The right frontal subcortical white matter is the region in the brain that the lesion is seen.

Hey, here's a link that might tell you more about your MRI and how to interpret the results.

It's so difficult to read your own MRIs, because there's a lot of structures in the brain that can be misinterpreted.  

I think after four years of looking at mine, I still haven't found the punctate hyperintensities that they're talking about.  However, I think there is a lesion in the brainstem that they missed!
