Linear |
A shadow resembling a line; any elongated opacity of approximately uniform width [Fraser and Pare]. |
122664
|
Late Contrast Enhancement |
Delayed hyperenhancement of a tissue observed in an image acquired after injection of contrast media. |
130593
|
Partially encapsulated |
Partially but not entirely surrounded (bounded) by a distinct tissue layer, such as a smooth low-signal line on MRI. |
130597
|
Persistent delayed phase: Type 1 curve |
Continued increase of signal intensity over time. |
130596
|
ADC Hypointense |
Having lower intensity (darker) than a reference background tissue on apparent diffusion coefficient map. |
130595
|
ADC Hyperintense |
Having higher signal intensity (more intense, brighter) than background tissue on the apparent diffusion coefficient map. |
130594
|
Completely encapsulated |
Entirely surrounded (bounded) by a distinct tissue layer, such as a smooth low-signal line on MRI, in more than one spatial dimension (at least two imaging planes). |
130599
|
Washout delayed phase: Type 3 curve |
Signal intensity decreases after its highest point after its initial rise. |
130598
|
Plateau delayed phase: Type 2 curve |
Signal intensity does not change over time after its initial rise, flat; plateau refers to signal that varies <10% from the peak signal over the duration of the DCE MRI. |
112135
|
Lobulated |
A border shape that is made up of, provided with, or divided into lobules (small lobes, curved or rounded projections or divisions). |
Focal abnormality
|
Focal abnormality |
|
130601
|
Negative DCE |
Lack of early enhancement. Diffuse enhancement not corresponding to a focal lesion on T2 and/or DWI MRI. Focal enhancement corresponding to a BPH lesion. |
130600
|
Positive DCE |
Focal, early enhancement corresponding to a focal peripheral zone of transition zone lesion on T2 and/or DWI MRI. |
130604
|
Focal Contrast Enhancement |
Contrast enhancement is concentrated in a focal tissue area. |
130603
|
Diffuse Contrast Enhancement |
Contrast enhancement is non-focal and diffused over a region. |
130602
|
Early Contrast Enhancement |
Contrast-enhanced is observed in the early stage following contrast injection |
112160
|
Homogeneous |
Of uniform opacity or texture throughout [Fraser and Pare]. |
