Default Help me understand my MRI report
I know basically it is OK, the neuro said it's fine but since I have never had the actual report in my hand before I have never seen some of this.

There are 5 to 6 scattered punctate areas of abnormality throughout the deep white matter including a subtle lesion in the pons.. There is some very minimal cerbellar atrophy along the cerebellar tonsils.

OK, what does this 'punctate' thing mean? I have just always known I have the one lesion in the pons.
