What does increased echogenicity of the hepatic parenchyma consistent with steatosis is demonstrated mean?
The waves are being reflected back more than usual because of a buildup of fat in the liver, e.g. fatty liver. Can be due to excess alcohol intake.
Which way would O2 and CO2 diffuse during internal respiration?
O2 would diffuse into the cells, and CO2 would diffuse into the systemic capillaries.
What things diffuse into?
The molecules of food and oxygen diffuse into cells. oh and btfw co2 and waste chemicals diffuse ut of cells. im in year 3
Why do gases diffuse rapidly while liquids diffuse slowly?
The atomic bonds of gas particles are much weaker than that of liquids, allowing them to diffuse faster
Which will diffuse faster AsH3 or HCN?
HCN will diffuse faster due to its lower molecular weight.
What is increased echogenicity in breast?
Echogenicity is the returning of a signal in ultrasound examinations. Increased echogenicity means increased density of the sound waves.
What does diffuse increase in renal parenchymal echogenicity mean and what are its causes?
renal parenchyal echogenicity crf mild
What causes diffusely increased parenchymal echogenicity?
There isn't enough information to answer the question. Diffusely increased echogenicity just means that the organ was more solid, but you didn't tell what part of the body or what the person's symptoms are.
What does low echogenicity mean?
Echogenicity is the ability for sound waves to bounce or reflect off a surface. Echogenicity may be low or high depending on the content of the surface. Bone, gas, and fat have high echogenicity. Liquids such as urine, bile, and malignant lesions have low echogenicity.
What is heterogeneous echogenicity of the liver with 2 irregular hypoechogeneous areas?
what is heterogeneous echogenicity
What means fatty infiltration of liver and what is it's treatment and what is the difference between fatty infiltration of liver and fatty liver?
the liver shows increased echogenicity compatible with fatty ifiltration.
What is hepatic echogenicity?
An ultrasound of your liver
Your ultrasound shows mild increase in the cortical echogenicity of both kidneys but your renal tests are normal. Ultrasound tests done earlier never indicated this before Is this sign of kidney?
This is essentially a normal kidney ultrasound. A mild cortical echogenicity in both kidneys, and normal renal function can occur in pregnancy when your over-all blood volume is increased.
What is parenchymal echogenicity?
Parenchyma is the functional part of an organ (while stroma is the supporting tissue). Echogenicity means ability to produce an echo. So parenchymal echogenicity means the ability of the functional part of an organ to produce an echo (for ultrasound examination for example).
What does persistent diffuse uptake mean on a bone scan?
There is an increased level of metabolic activity of the bone throughout the body.
What are the causes of parenchymal echogenicity?
Parenchymal echogenicity can be affected by various factors, including inflammation, fatty infiltration, fibrosis, and changes in blood flow or perfusion. Other causes may include liver or kidney diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or renal parenchymal disease, which can alter the density and echogenicity of the tissues. Additionally, age-related changes or medications can also impact parenchymal echogenicity.
