Sorry, but we needed to disable the photo you posted - it has your full name on it and I'm sure you don't want everyone to know that.  :-)

Jen gave you a great site to look through - are you being checked for MS or was this MRI for something else?

I wouldn't get too concerned.  What you're seeing are bony structures and veins in the brain, that are showing up white.  

This is one of the most helpful sites I've found for interpreting your own MRIs.

I don't recommend doing that - the best person to look at your MRIs is the radiologist.  But I do it too - just can't help myself.
