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?

Is a ct scan a good test for the pancreas?
Yes, a CT scan is a valuable diagnostic tool for examining the pancreas. It provides detailed images that can help identify conditions such as pancreatitis, pancreatic tumors, or cysts. However, the effectiveness of a CT scan may depend on the specific clinical scenario, and additional tests like MRI or endoscopic ultrasound may sometimes be recommended for further evaluation. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
What does it mean when you have shadows on your ct scan?

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 would cause hypo density in a ct scan of the pancreas?
Hypodensity on a CT scan of the pancreas typically indicates areas of reduced attenuation, which can be due to various conditions. Common causes include acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic necrosis, pancreatic tumors (such as adenocarcinoma), or cystic lesions (like pseudocysts). Additionally, fat infiltration or abscess formation can also present as hypodense areas in the pancreatic tissue. These findings often require further evaluation to determine the underlying cause.

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. It can indicate a pathology or abnormality, such as a fluid-filled area like a cyst or edema. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
