i recently had an MRI (suspected MS) and the report from the radiologist said that there were no abnormalities, however, im no doctor or anything, but on one of the scans there was a bright speck in the left occipital area. Does anybody know if this is normal (im an 18 yr old female), or could the radiologist have overlooked it?

You probably don't have MS and yes people will have a random white speck or so, theses are just a little fat deposits or interference or ... lots of stuff all not bad. It never hurts to ask and seek a second opinion but the MS spots are usually a at least the size of a pencil eraser and multiple (ie the name Multiple in MS).

I'm with Lottie. Like her, I'm no doctor. But I have seen x-rays before, and a bright speck is very much out of place.

You should have a follow up appointment with your dr that will give you a chance to address these questions. If you do not, you probably should make an appt so that you can put your mind at ease

Go back to your doctor and ask him/her about it. Get a second opinion if still unsure after your appointment.
