T2 is seen as a foci of white spots on MRIs of the brain. They are associated with a number of disorders: normal aging, MS, etc.
What does it mean when the MRI states Marked patchy to confluent abnormal T2 signal white matter? increase brain T2 signal from white matter in MRI might be due to AIDS dementia complex
yes
T2 FLAIR is an MRI sequence used when scanning brain anatomy. It stands for Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery and is a T2 weighted scan where signal from CSF is nulled giving a good detailed view of brain anatomy.
The T2 signal is used by MRI machines to help identify different characteristics of tissues within the brain. For example, the T2 signal can help identify if the tissue contains too much water.
T2 FLAIR Hyperintensity is when hyperintensity is seen via FLAIR (Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery) during the T2, or spin-spin, relaxation cycle. This process helps nullify natural fluid signals in the body to find plaques and lesions in the brain. Hyperintensity describes areas of high intensity in the brain during an MRI.
T2 is a type of MRI imaging technique in which TE and TR (Echo time and Repetition time) are longer and the image's contrast and brightness is determined specifically by T2 signals. A "hyperintense lesion" would appear as a bright white spot on a T2-weighted MRI, and its location is in the left centrum semiovale. The centrum semiovale is a large region of "white matter". It is composed of the fibers carrying information to and from the surface of the brain (cortex) to the deeper structures of the brain and to the spinal cord.

Can hyponatremia cause white matter suggestive of minimal chronic microvascular ischemic change. The grey-white differentiation is maintained. minimal chronic microvascular ischemic on a brain scan?
Your physician should explain you the protocol, but I can try to help a bit though i'd need more details. This is the protocol of a Magnetic Resonance scan (MRI, MRT, KST,... it has many names), i assume of your brain. They see multiple nodes that give a high signal on T2 images. Basically, they see nodes, and the fact that they light up on T2 tells you something about their contents. On T2 images, what lights up has a density about the same as water. About the subcortical and periventricular: this is just the region, subcortical = under the cortex. The cortex is the outer rim of your brain. Periventricular = around the ventricle, a ventricle is a chamber of cerebrospinal fluid in your brain. All things together, my guess (can only guess as i don't have more details and can't see the images), is that these are cysts.
Mild diffuse cerebral and cerebellum volume loss and T2 hyperintensity within the periventricular white matter refers to a stroke. This can cause a slight decrease in the white matter of the brain.
