I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
When it comes to low density (black) area in the brain the first diagnosis which comes to mind would be stroke. However it is hard to judge from that info, location of those areas is necessary, manner of onset and evolution in time, age and other medical issues. Even if we were to admit that it was a stroke there are different type of strokes depending on the origin and blood vessels involved. So I am afraid more information is needed for any recommendation.
