Reason For Exam: Headache
Examination: MRI Brain Without Contrast
Technique: Multiplanar multisequence imaging of the brain was performed without intravenous contrast
Findings: There is no restricted diffusion to suggest acute ischemia. There is normal-appearing anatomy of the craniocervical junction. Flair imaging demonstrates minimal periventricular and scattered multifocal subcortical signal hyperintensity compatible with benign white matter changes of aging. Ventricle size is normal. There is no midline shift. Normal void signal is present within the carotid and basilar arteries. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear.
Impression
1. No evidence of acute hemorrhage, ischemia or mass.
2. Mild benign-appearing white matter changes likely related to normal changes of aging.
