What is signal foci?
Signal foci is a white matter in the cerebrum. It is a common incidental finding on MRI of the brain of patients with a variety of diseases.
What if your MRI scanned frontal and parietal white matter T2 hyperintensities what does this mean?
my husband has t2 intense foci in the subcortical white matter in the frontal and parietal reigon these are compatible with foci of chronic ischaemic change the finding is related to small vessel disease his mood swings are getting worse would this disease be a part of mood swings.
What is ischaemic foci?
Ishcaemic foci are also called lacunar infarcts. They are caused when blood flow is interrupted to small areas of the brain. It can be detected by an MRI scan.
What is the medical definition for hypointense foci?
Hypointense foci refer to areas on a medical imaging study, such as MRI or CT, that appear darker than surrounding tissue due to reduced signal intensity. These foci may indicate the presence of abnormalities such as lesions, tumors, or areas of decreased blood flow. Further evaluation is often needed to determine the underlying cause and potential implications of hypointense foci.
An MRI scan sHow is mild generalised prominence of cerebral cortical sulci and ventricles with few ischaemic foci in left frontoparietal white matter What does this mean?
what does the white matter mean? How serious of a surgery is it to remove the white matter?
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. )
What are punctate foci?
Punctate foci are 'lesions' on the brain, typically caused by unknown trauma to the brain or conditions where demyelination of brain tissue occurs. Punctate foci are identified by brain MRI, with and without contrast although using contrast normally provides a more accurate picture of all lesions. In layman's terms, punctate foci have also been described as 'popcorn calcifications' in the brain tissue. Some punctate foci are associated with normal aging process.
What medical imaging technique is used for Multiple Sclerosis?
MRI
What does 'foca' mean in Spanish?
