Rich focus
Rich focus
Rich focus (pronunciation: /rɪtʃ fəʊkəs/) is a term used in the field of medicine to describe a condition or area that is densely populated with a particular substance or feature. The term is often used in the context of medical imaging, where a 'rich focus' might refer to an area of the body that shows a high concentration of a certain element, such as calcium or iron.
Etymology
The term 'rich focus' is derived from the English words 'rich', meaning abundant or plentiful, and 'focus', meaning a central point of attention or activity. In the medical context, 'rich focus' therefore refers to an area that is abundant in a particular feature and is the central point of attention in a medical examination or procedure.
