White spots on brain MRI

My son has been having headaches for the past few weeks in one spot.  Back right side of head.  I took him in for a CT scan which was negative and then an MRI/MRA and I received a phone call saying that white spots showed up on scans.  But that they did not look like MS and that MS spots are normally deeper within the brain matter and that my sons spots where not as deep.  

He did say that this does happen and that we shouldnt worry, just have annual MRI/MRA's to observe.  

Is this a normal thing?
