Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
We need to interpret the MRI brain data in the light of symptoms. So, it would be useful if you can add some clinical data to your query.
Looking at the MRI report in isolation, there is no need to worry, as the findings noted are minor. Common causes for same include ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain) and migraine.
Best wishes,
