foci is plural for focus. this would be a very small group of cells. The foci would indicate more than one group of cells. Whether the foci is malignant or has metastazied from another area, the writer did not indicate.

Be sure to ask your doctor to explain this in plain English to you. Pat

What does this mean Scatterd foci of T2 FLAIR signal hyperintensity in the periventricular deep and subcortical white matter?

The above includes what was the first line written under "impressions" on my radiology report related to an MRI done w/o and with Contrast which I was given recently. I'm going to see my neurologist today, but can tell you what I know now. The doctors I've spoken with so far expressed concern, then some calming words such as, "the report wasn't conclusive," as the radiologist had included a number of possible reasons for the results. However, I've since read the fact I had an MRI six years ago during which this foci was not present, this presents a problem. The fact the foci is in the periventricular area typically suggests a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. However, my neurologist ask to look at the films himself, to confirm this foci or lesion, is new. If it is indeed a new lesion, this signifies a diagnosis of either Multiple Sclerosis or another demyelinating disease. (Note: I had a "small foci" of "abnormal T2 Flair" rather than being scattered. )
