Do the pyramids consist of gray or white matter?
White matter
How do you account for difference grey matter white matter?
one's grey and one's white.....they're both matter though...
Is the gray matter deep to white matter?
no the report says normal gray white differentiation
What does gray matter lack that white matter has?
Myelination
What is gray matter white matter how does the arrangement of gray and white matter differ in the cerebral hemispheres?
Gray matter is mainly densely packed nerve cell bodies and comprise the outer layer of the cerebrum. White matter is mainly axons surrounded by myelin and are the inner layer of the cerebrum.
What is mild diffuse cerebral and cerebellum volume loss and T2 hyperintesnity within the periventricular white matter?
Mild diffuse cerebral and cerebellum volume loss and T2 hyperintensity within the periventricular white matter refers to a stroke. This can cause a slight decrease in the white matter of the brain.
What could a bilateral periventricular white matter hypodensities in the brain mean?
What does this mean in easy to understand terms
If decorticate posturing is present the lesion is?
Anatomic location of the lesion would be below the cortex, in the white matter or the cerebral hemispheres or upper part of the brain stem.
What is Mild chronic small vessel ischemic changes with hypoattenuation aboout the corona radiate and periventricular white matter of the brain?
Having high blood pressure can greatly increase the possibility of suffering from a stroke or heart attack. An increase of white matter on an MRI scan may help measure both risks. Ischemic changes in white matter, relative to chronic periventricular, are commonly found by examining MRI scans. Ischemic change in white matter can be attributed to diabetes, a high content of fat in the blood and high blood pressure, which all can be attributed to raising the risk of having a stroke.
What is multiple small hypo densities seen in bilateral fronto-parietal subcortical and periventricular white matter?
Small hypo densities are seen in bilatereral para ventricular region
What is the difference between erythroleukoplakia and erythroplakia?
erythroplakia is a RED lesion that cannot be wiped away. erythroleukoplakia is a RED and WHITE speckled lesion that cannot be wiped away. in general, a red lesion has a worse prognosis than a white lesion. always perform a biopsy.
What does prominent deep periventricular white matter changes consistent with microvascular ischemia mean on a mri of the brain mean?
Apparently some of the white matter cells around the ventricles have died due to small blood vessel inability to supply them with enough oxygen. Basically the brain's gray matter are our pools of information. The brain's white matter relays signals. These signals access and connect gray matter information to help us carry out physical and mental acts, from walking etc., to remembering stuff.
What does it mean when they find a Lesion seen within subcortical white matter tracts of the posterior left frontal lobe?
Subcortical white matter lesions may be associated with cardiovascular disease. They may also be associated with multiple sclerosis, if the patient has other MS signs and symptoms.
What does it mean the brain parenchyma shows periventricular T2 hyperintensity and a few scattered subcortical foci of increased T2 and flair signal intensity in the frontal lobes that are nonspecifi?
what does this mean? Impression: There are scattered foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity within the periventricular, deep and subcortical white matter. The findings are nonspecific but may be seen in mild to moderate small vessel ischemic changes. No evidence for acute infarct or hemorrhage.
Do the pyramids consist of gray or white matter?
White matter
What is foci of T2 hyperintensity in the subcortical and periventricular white matter?
This phrase is a statement that would be used by a radiologist when reviewing the results from a MRI. Breaking down the phrase by individual parts:T2 - An indication of the type of scan that was done. In a T2-weighted scan, areas that are fluid-filled appear bright, while areas that are fatty appear dark. A T1 scan would show the opposite results.Hyperintensity - An indication of a bright region on the scan.Foci of T2 Hyperintensity, therefore, means "focal points, or concise areas, of very bright spots."Subcortical and periventricular white matter - These are locations within the brain. Regions of the brain are categorized by color (white matter or grey matter) and location (cortical, or related to the cortex, subcortical, or below the cortex, etc).The statement, therefore, means "white spots on a MRI scan at certain locations within the brain."This statement alone does not indicate any particular disease is present. It is a piece of information that a neurologist would use to help determine whether or not someone had a certain disease or condition. There are many conditions or diseases which can cause white spots on the brain; only a neurologist can sort through the possibilities and determine what caused these white spots.
What is the medical term meaning an abnormal white precancerous lesion that develops on the tongue or the inside of the cheek?
leukoplakia
