A new punctate focus of enhancement refers to a small, discrete area that shows increased signal intensity on imaging studies, typically MRI or CT scans. This enhancement often indicates the presence of a newly developed abnormality, such as a tumor, infection, or inflammatory process. The term "punctate" suggests that the area is small and well-defined, and its identification may warrant further investigation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

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.

Punctate phleboliths are small, round calcifications typically found within veins, often seen on imaging studies such as X-rays or CT scans. They are formed from the calcification of blood clots and are usually asymptomatic and of little clinical significance. Their presence can sometimes be mistaken for other conditions, but they are a common and benign finding. In many cases, punctate phleboliths are simply noted and do not require further investigation.

Punctate erythema in the bladder refers to small red spots or patches that are observed on the lining of the bladder during a medical examination, such as cystoscopy.
