Taller than: wide is usually a descriptor used with ultrasound, and is a feature that implies a higher level of suspicion. I'm not clear on your description of the color mapping/enhancement pattern. If it is red, that usually indicates a "washout" pattern, which implies a higher level of suspicion..
