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.

What is right midpole hypodensity mean?
Right midpole hypodensity typically refers to a radiological finding on imaging studies like a CT scan or MRI. It suggests an area of decreased density in the right midpole region of an organ, most commonly seen in the liver or kidney. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is needed to determine the cause of this hypodensity and decide if any treatment is required.
What is hypodensity of right hepatic lobe?
Hypodensity of the right hepatic lobe typically represents a region in the liver where the tissue is less dense than surrounding areas on imaging. This can be indicative of various conditions such as fatty liver disease, metastasis, or inflammation. Further evaluation, such as additional imaging or laboratory tests, may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
Hypodensity in right lobe of thyroid what is hypodensity.?

What does a hypodensity of 20mm in size obscuring the left temporal horn mean?
A hypodensity refers to an area on imaging that is less dense than surrounding tissues.

Further investigation or consultation with a medical professional may be needed to determine the cause and significance of this finding.
What is punctate hypodensity in the spleen?
Punctate hypodensity in the spleen refers to small areas of decreased density seen on imaging studies such as CT scans. These hypodense spots can be indicative of various conditions such as small infarcts, cysts, or benign lesions. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the punctate hypodensity.
What if your CT scan show incidental findings of small liver hypodensity and left adnexal cyst can anyone explain?
The CT scan showed two things, that were not on the original CT request form without signs or symptoms usually. One is an area of low density in your liver that can be due to a number of things, but usually due to fatty liver where alcohol or general fats are deposited in your liver or cysts. To rule out more serious causes, your physician can order specific blood tests to assess liver function and biochemistry and possibly order a biopsy of the area if needed. Secondly is a cyst on the left side of the uterus.
