Explanation

"Enhancement characteristics" in a medical document refers to how certain areas of the body may change or "enhance" when a special dye is used during a medical imaging test. This dye helps doctors see these areas more clearly on the images. The terms "avid," "heterogeneous," "central," and "peripheral" describe different ways these areas might appear on the images. For example, "avid" means the area absorbed a lot of dye, while "heterogeneous" means the area absorbed the dye unevenly.
