What is hepatic parenchyma?
Adjacent means "next to." Hepatic means related to the liver. Parenchyma means the bulk of an organ. So adjacent hepatic parenchyma is the bulk of the organ next to...something else. So if the previous sentence in the report referred to the gallbladder, the adjacent hepatic parenchyma is the liver tissue next to the gallbladder.
What is heterogenous parenchyma?

What is parenchyma in humans?
Parenchyma refers to the bulk of an organ. Thus, the liver parenchyma is the bulk of the liver (not the capsule around it, or the blood vessels that go through it). The brain parenchyma is the bulk of the brain (not the meninges or the spinal cord or optic nerves).
What is a echogenic lesion on the liver?
Hepatic echogenicity means the nature of ultrasound waves which are reflected from the liver during a sonography. If the waves or echoes are larger than normal then it means that the parenchyma or the functional part of the liver is diseased. The parenchyma is generally affected by fatty deposits within the liver causing hepatomegaly or inflamation of the liver or the parenchmal cells of the liver. Fatty liver disease is completely reversible without any long lasting effects but it takes around three months to reverse it with dietary restrictions.
Is heterogeneous liver a prelude to liver cancer?
It depends, I was diagnosed with a mild heterogeneous liver back in February 2012. My doctor seems to think it is a mild alcoholic induced fatty liver. My liver panels have always and still do come back normal. I would definitely talk to your doctor, if you are worried and ask for a liver biposy to rule out all possibilities if you wish to pursue that far.

What organ doesn't have nociceptors?

What is heterogeneous attenuation of the liver?
Heterogeneous attenuation of the liver refers to a pattern seen on imaging studies like a CT scan where there are areas of varying density or brightness in the liver, rather than a uniform appearance throughout. This can be caused by a variety of conditions such as fatty infiltration, inflammation, or tumors affecting different parts of the liver. Further evaluation is usually needed to determine the underlying cause.
