Typically referring to a measurement on an imaging study (xray, CT scan, MRI, ultrasound), "sub-centimeter" refers to a measurement less than 1 centimeter.
For instance, a phrase such as "several sub-centimeter perihilar nodes are noted," means there are lymph nodes which are enlarged in the peri-hilar region of the lungs, but these are less than 1 centimeter in greatest diameter.

What is subcentimeter hypodensity of the liver?
my ct scan says that i have several small focal hypodensities largest being 2cm this finding is non specific but these do not represent simple cysts. can anyone tell me what this means? This means that the scan picked up small areas of your liver that are different than the rest of the liver which puts up a "red flag" to the doctors. They know they are not simple cysts,therefore they must do further investigations to determine why these areas show up as denser than the surrounding tissue. Blood tests and possible biopsy (removing a small piece of the dense area) would be ordered. A liver biopsy is done outpatient and takes only a few minutes. Not to worry too much as fatty infiltration or hemangiomas can cause these findings, neither of which are unusual.Tissue in the liver that is less dense than the normal liver tissue, often fat.
