Explanation:
focus: "the principal site of an infection or other disease" (OED)
lesion: "a region in an organ or tissue which has suffered damage through injury or disease, such as a wound, ulcer, abscess, or tumour" (OED)

Z uvedeného vyplýva, že "lesion" skôr tlmočí aspekt "poškodenia, poranenia", zatiaľ čo "focus" vyjadruje aspekt "umiestnenia, výskytu, polohy" a nezameriava sa na to, či došlo aj k poškodeniu.

Foci, which is the plural form of focus, and is used in MRI to refer to a region of enhancement that that is too small to characterise, measuring less than 5mm in diameter. MRIs are scans used to produce fine detailed images of either the brain or spine
http://www.ask.com/question/what-is-foci-on-an-mri

Here is what MRI report says
Small Foci of altered signal intensity are seen involving bilateral fronto-parietal white matter-appearing iso-hypointense on T1W and Hyperintense on T2w and FLAIR images-represent Chronic Ischemic Foci
Rest of the Cerebral Parenchyma appears normal
Brainstem and cerebellar hemisphere are normal
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Neurology/Chronic-ischemic-foci...

Okay had my MRI with contrast on Monday and just recieved an email from neuro...
Focal areas of high T2 signal within the cord at T2 and T5/6 suggestive of inflammation and in the brain there were a few scattered foci of hyperintense FLAIR signal in the subcortical white matter with a further single focus adjacent to the right temporal horn
