MRI explanation

Can anyone explain to me what this means from my MRI report

"Single 3mm non-expansive, non-enhancing area of increased T2 and T2 FLAIR post contrast sub cortical white matter signal in the right centrum semiovale with diminished T1 signal

[Dr. Kokil Mathur]

Hi!
In general, increased T2/Flair signals indicate small vessel ischemic disease or changes of brain blood vessels. Since the lesion in MRI did not enhance with contrast it is unlikely to be a tumor or even a MS lesion.
An increased T1 signal indicates deposition of fat, proteins, melanin, contrast agent or gadolinium. It can also occur in case of hemorrhage or metabolic disorders like diabetes. Sometimes an increased T1 signal is an artifact or false result.
Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
