Default Help with reading MRI report

My sister who has had a dx of probable MS, (who has now been told probably not) read out some of her MRI reports to me.
Can anyone help interpret it please? I just jotted down words... so it's not all in context.

"5 lesions posterior.. right & left cerebral.. Parietal.. occipital region.
...elongated dimension"..
represent an old change of demyelination".
"5 burnt out plaques"...

2nd MRI 6 months later - no new lesions. Report said:
" non specific but may represent multi-focal demyelination"...

is this not typical of MS, so is that why the neuro said 'probably not'....??

Thanks.
