Hello
White matter T2 hyper intensities associated flair signal hyperintensity generally indicate ischemic changes( due to compromised blood supply).These are generally due to involvement of small blood vessels.
It is generally due to condiotions like hypertension,diabetes mellitus,altered lipid profile etc.
So,you may need clinical correlation and screening for these conditions.
These are not very serious findings and it only need treatment of underlying cause.
Get well soon.
