As for what else they could be - my advice is, don't try to learn this stuff piecemeal; it's too easy to misinterpret what you're reading when you take fragments of information out of context and without a firm foundation in medical imaging.
Iam just curious, are you a technician or do you know how to read and MRI? Iam asking because I have a couple of questions. One being have you ever heard of anyone having been told that the second MRI (taken a year and a half after one that showed lesions) showed nothing new, but mistakenly there were new leasions?
