Corticomedullary differentiation on medical diagnostic imaging is the visualisation of the difference of intensity (MRI) , echogenity (Ultrasound) or attenuation (CT) between the cortical and medullary tissue in an organ.
For Example;
The kidney has a cortex (the peripheral tissue) and a medulla (central to the cortex). On an ultrasound scan, the cortex should look whiter (more echogenic) than the medulla and thus, you should be able see and differentiate between these two different tissues judging by their color..
Loss of corticomedullary differentiation is what its called when both cortex and medulla are seen as the same shade of grey and one can not see any change of color (any change in shade of grey tones as most diagnostic images are black and white) on the border of cortex and medulla.

How can you grade renal parenchymal disease on ultrasound?
Renal parenchymal disease basically appear echogenic. There are three grades of renal parenchymal disease. Grade 1: the Kidney parenchyma is isoechoic to the liver, but there is still cortiomedullary differentiation. Grade 2: the kidney parenchyma is hyperechoic to the liver with preservation of corticomedullary differentiation. Grade 3: kidney appears hyperechoic. No corticomedullary differentiation!
What is it called when a stem cell becomes specific type of cell?

What does 'Preserved mean in medical terms?

Differentiation formulas of mathematics d dx x x plus 9?
If you mean x squared + 9, you differentiate this as follows: Use the differentiation formula for a power, to differentiate the x squared. Separately, use the differentiation formula for a constant, to differentiate the 9. Finally, use the differentiation formula for a sum to add up the parts.
