T2 hyperintensities refer to areas in the brain that appear bright on T2-weighted MRI scans, indicating increased water content, often associated with various pathological conditions. These foci can be indicative of demyelination, small vessel ischemia, inflammation, or other neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis or hypertension-related changes. The presence and extent of T2 hyperintensities can help in diagnosing and assessing the severity of neurological conditions. However, they can also occur in healthy individuals, particularly with age.

What happens when you decrease the distance between two foci?
The answer depends on whether they are the foci of an ellipse or a hyperbola.
What happens when you increase the distance between two foci?
-- If they're the foci of a single optical system, then the result can't be stated in general.It depends on the curvatures and relative position of the lenses.-- If they're both the foci of the same ellipse, then the ellipse becomes more eccentric.That is, more squashed and less circular.-- If they're the foci of two parabolas, then there's no relationship between them, andnothing in particular depends on the distance between them.The answer depends on whether they are the foci of an ellipse or a hyperbola.
Can the foci's of and ellipse be outside the ellipse?
No.
How many foci does a hyperbola have?
2
What happen as foci of an ellipse get closer together?
The ellipse will become more circular until it becomes a circle when the two foci coincide.
