"Lesions" is just a generic word for "damage", and not necessarily just damage to the brain. People use the word lesions to describe open wounds sometimes.
Attached is a link to "demyelinating diseases", which describes the various locations of lesions, based on the condition. There is a fair bit of info on MS lesions in this document.

They are looking for the right size/shape and location of lesions for MS, either in the brain, T or C spine (or all of the above, in my case
).
