    Thank you for giving inputs that you have MS which makes easy for me to answer. The MS is a disorder of CNS in which myelin sheath of a neuron is lost. On MRI, white matter show some lesions which can be MS lesions. These lesions continue to develop and degenerate. But there are many peoples who have MS without brain lesion. These lesions are in white color on the scan. To see the pictures of these lesions, visit MS lesions.
