Default MRI films - white spots on 'FLAIR' picture?

Hi Guys, well I got through the MRI!
I only have the films, not the report. The waiting is difficult!

All the pictures look clear (no oval looking shapes) except for the last one in the sheet of films - the one with "T2_Flair_Sag" written under it.
It shows many bright white spots (about 9) of varying shapes/size and brightness.
(I had no dye).
I've had a look online - from what I gather the 'Flair' sequence lessens the fluid, making lesions easier to see??
Can anyone shed some light perhaps?
I know I need to wait, but just curious if anyone knows what this might mean.
Thanks.

(I have no dx, and neuro thinks it's not MS)...

My unofficial reading of your MRI is......you could possibly have MS!!!
My official reading is...dunno.

its too hard to tell from one MRI. there has to be studies of your history, your symptoms, your past MRIs were there changes...I wish it was as easy as a blood test that said "you do or you dont have MS" and we could end the mystery.

I hope you get answers quickly. its hard to wait.
