What does it mean when there are multiple abnormal foci of high T2 signal scattered along the subcortical and periventricular region?
Your physician should explain you the protocol, but I can try to help a bit though i'd need more details. This is the protocol of a Magnetic Resonance scan (MRI, MRT, KST,... it has many names), i assume of your brain. They see multiple nodes that give a high signal on T2 images. Basically, they see nodes, and the fact that they light up on T2 tells you something about their contents. On T2 images, what lights up has a density about the same as water. About the subcortical and periventricular: this is just the region, subcortical = under the cortex. The cortex is the outer rim of your brain. Periventricular = around the ventricle, a ventricle is a chamber of cerebrospinal fluid in your brain. All things together, my guess (can only guess as i don't have more details and can't see the images), is that these are cysts.
What else can I help you with?
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 periventricular atrophy?
Periventricular atrophy is a condition characterized by the shrinking or loss of brain tissue around the ventricles, which are fluid-filled spaces in the brain. It is often seen in conditions such as normal aging, vascular dementia, and multiple sclerosis. Symptoms can include cognitive decline, walking difficulties, and mood changes.
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.
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
Condition characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of the nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
What does this mean Scatterd foci of T2 FLAIR signal hyperintensity in the periventricular deep and subcortical white matter?
This indicates the presence of small areas of increased signal intensity in the brain's white matter on a T2 FLAIR MRI sequence. These areas are typically seen around the ventricles and deep regions of the brain, suggesting possible small vessel disease or demyelination. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
True or False Multiple changes in DNA are required to change an abnormal cell into a cancer cell?
True.
What is multiple endocrine neoplasia?
Abnormal tissue growth on one or more of the endocrine (hormone-secreting) glands.
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers of the brain?
Multiple sclerosis is a condition characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This demyelination disrupts the ability of nerve fibers to conduct electrical impulses, leading to various neurological symptoms.
What type of surface do a diffused or scattered reflection produce?
Diffused or scattered reflection typically produces a matte or rough surface. This type of reflection occurs when light hits a non-smooth surface and is scattered in multiple directions, creating a soft and uniform appearance without sharp or distinct reflections.
What does collection of scattered plasma cells mean?
Plasma cells are B lymphocytes that are actively producing antibodies. A collection of scattered plasma cells likely means there is an active infection close to the sampling site the lymphocytes are reacting to and trying to get cleaned up.
