Should I be concerned if my CT Scan revealed an area of white matter of low density?

My CT Scan results showed a small area of white matter of low density involving the left parietal region prominent. It was a non-specific finding. What does this mean? I am very concerned and went to my regular doctor about it. He ordered an MRI and said something about the shadow being in the bone and not in the brain.
Can you offer any clarification?
