If you have experience with it, please view my son's brain MRI?

My son had an MRI for symptoms of a brain tumor. We don't see the dr. until friday and the white spots are driving me crazy. Are there supposed to be white spots on the MRI?

Update:

Thanks. Getting the report is a good idea. He is OCD and has been having vision disturbances/nausea/vomiting/headaches

    I am not an expert but my partner has had serial MRI's because she has a brain cyst (pineal cyst to be exact) and have some experience viewing MRI's. The white spots are normal. I do not see any obvious tumors or lesions. I would call the place who performed the MRI and ask that they fax you the MRI report. You have a right to see the report without it be forwarded to the referring MD. What are your sons symptoms?

    Go to the place that you had the test done and get the report from the MRI - I wish I knew what to tell you.

    I know that when I had breast cancer I did not have any white spots at all like that. The white spots were called dense areas that had just calcium deposits, the cancer was a black hole looking thing.

    Not like this picture at all.

    I just prayed over his MRI pictures. God bless you and your family. He is lucky to have a concerned parent like you.
