In multi-component granulation, two or more solid components are present, and granule composition becomes a fourth distributed parameter.
Immature teratomas tend to have more solid components, which appear as low or intermediate signal on T1-weighted images, high signal on T2-weighted images and show variable enhancement.
A right adnexal mass, similar to that one described in image a, but with a more prominent solid component, was also present (b).
(d) Axial contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted image shows enhancement of the solid component, more evident in the peripheral portion (white arrow).
Where the solid component enhances more rapidly and more intensely than the myometrium, invasive malignancy is highly likely.
When he was Manchester City manager, high-scoring draws were the Welshman's undoing; now he is constructing more solid foundations with cheaper components.
We and others have already shown that tumours with a major solid component are more often positive for a RET-PTC 3 arrangement, while tumours that are dominated by a well-differentiated papillary component more often show a RET-PTC 1 rearrangement (Nikiforov et al, 1997; Thomas et al, 1999; Rabes et al, 2000).
SPPNs tend to be well-encapsulated and contain haemorrhagic components, with more solid enhancing areas at the periphery and enhancement of the cyst wall [34].
This result goes towards the assumption that the high fluorescence intensity in the solid component of HGG is more linked to increased tissues acidity than to increased [PpIX], but this is only an indication.
An important exception to this rule is when the solid component is less than 5 mm, because these lesions are more likely to be AIS or MIA; these lesions may be treated conservatively, as stated in recommendation 2. Studies have shown that the greater the percentage of solid component, the more likely the lesion is to be invasive adenocarcinoma, with a poor prognosis.
