Whats the difference between uniformly enhancing, heterogenously enhancing and ring enhancing lesions?

Think of chalk board. Draw three circles.

1st circle is a ring = peripheral enhancement - mets, infections, aggressive primary brain neoplasms (GBM), fungal infections,

2nd circle the circle is completely filled in = homogenous or complete enhancement. - primary, mets, meningiomas

3rd circle fill in with chalk than erase some of the areas in a random pattern = heterogenous enhancement. - mets primary sometimes meningiomas

I am suffering from all of these right now, along with probably fragile x or something.
