Is this really a dementia diagnosis?

CT brain scan with these findings and impressions.
Findings: There is no bleed, midline shift, nor mas effect. The ventricles and sulci are mildly proportionately dilated. Periventricular hyperdensities are noted. There is a 6.7 x 6.3 mm calcification along the right frontoparietal convexity. The visualized paranasal sinuses demonstrate minimal mucosal thickening of the ethmold sinuses. The mastoid air cells are clear.
Impression:
1 No bleed, midline shift, nor mass effect or fracture.
2 Dural calcification versus meningioma of the right frontoparietal convexity.
3 Mild atrophy with chronic small vessel ischemic changes.
4 Minimal ethmoid sinus disease.

can coconut oil help prevent atrophy and Alzheimers?
does a CT show more than an MRI?  I'm worried because I've had low oxygen/breathing problems for years

Sorry I don't know much about this. But I do know that any time you are unsure what the doctor is telling you...ask questions.
If you are questioning the integrity of your doctor ,get second opinion. Good luck! Hope you find what you are looking for!
