Which areas of lesions are red flags?

So I have one that abuts the corpus collasum  but the rest are peri ventricular and subcortical. Plus possible one obscured by my heterozygous pitituary gland. So the total is 5 or 6. I don't think it was done by ms protocol and I haven't had a spine done yet. Thanks for opinions.

Here is a link to the NMSS society tip sheet for McDonald Criteria (2010) for multiple sclerosis:

In the second row, it says dessimination in space can be proved by greater than or equal to 1 T2 lesion in at least two MS typical CNS regions
(periventricular, juxtacortical, infratorial, spinal cord)

Ventricals are typical MS. They also have certain characteristics. I am not sure what they are but the lesions look a certain way. Mine were in the ventricals and the Pons the brain stem.
