What else can I help you with?
A ct scan was performed on my son's head the patchy attenuation was in the pons area of the brainstem how serious is this and how should he follow up please?
Low attenuation can mean different things. Was it a CT scan or MRI, do you know if they used contrast. An area with low attenuation needs to be re-evaluated to see what it is. Why did he have the scan? Did he have a trauma/injury? Was he having headaches or other symptoms? What else did the doctors tell you?

What are patchy areas of low attenuation in the brainstem mean?
Since 'attenuation' is used, I assume they're talking about CT. Low attenuation means there's not as much tissue in that area blocking the x rays of the CT scanner, which could indicate atrophy in that region I believe. Yes a CT scan was performed on my son's head. It said the patchy attenuation was located in the pons area of the brain stem. How serious is this and how should he follow up?

What does hypo-attenuation mean?
Hypo-attenuation refers to an area in medical imaging, such as a CT scan, where the tissue appears less dense compared to surrounding tissue.

Can a kidney stone show up in the pancreas in a cat scan?
You cannot get a kidney stone in the pancreas, but you can get pancreatic calculi (stones). They will show up on a CT scan if they are sufficiently radioopaque i.e. dense enough to cause a change in the X-ray beam which is picked up by the detectors.
