The Whitacre needles produced coarse lesions with significant destruction in the dura's fibers while the Quincke needles produced a "U -shaped lesion (flap) that mimics the opened lid of a tin can, regardless of the tip's direction.
There may be an associated papillary or follicular conjunctivitis and the cornea will exhibit multiple, coarse, punctate epithelial lesions, which may evolve into a nummular keratitis.
Ultrasound scan of the abdomen revealed a small liver with coarse texture and no focal lesion.
CT scans further revealed a 5.6×5.5.5 × 6.3 cm, relatively well-circumscribed, heterogeneous, bulging mass lesion with same coarse calcifications in the middle of the left kidney.
For example if we take into account nodules with macrocalcifications and decreased elasticity we can expect that there will be mainly lesions with large, coarse, or numerous calcifications increasing stiffness of the nodule.
Thyroid lesions with calcifications, especially coarse ones, were previously described as not suitable group for elastographic examination due to increased stiffness and false-positive results of the assessment of risk of malignancy [ 17, 18].
Texture is more heterogeneous and coarse in the enhancing part of the lesion compared to healthy tissue.
Fine behavioural characterization of patients will improve lesion-mapping only if the coarse problems of analysing the underlying anatomy are adequately solved first.
Only three CIN2 lesions showed major changes with coarse punctuation (n = 2) or flat dense acetowhite (n = 1), and all were associated with HPV16 or HPV18, while the remaining eight CIN2 lesions showed minor changes, mainly regular punctuation and flat acetowhite epithelium.
Ill-defined radiolucent lesion (arrows in a and b) with coarse sclerotic borders and calcifications (dashed arrow).
