A homogeneous liver is one that has the same texture throughout.
Adjacent means "next to." Hepatic means related to the liver. Parenchyma means the bulk of an organ. So adjacent hepatic parenchyma is the bulk of the organ next to...something else. So if the previous sentence in the report referred to the gallbladder, the adjacent hepatic parenchyma is the liver tissue next to the gallbladder.
Minimal residual hepatic parenchyma means there's not much functional liver left.
Parenchyma is a term mean to describe a bulk of a substance. Homogenous means the 1. same or similar kind or nature 2. of uniform structure or composition. In together Homogenous parenchyma could be described as: A bulk of a substance which has a uniform structure and composition.
The cells in the liver are not uniform, some are different.
Homogeneous parenchyma in the breast refers to the tissue having a uniform density and appearance on imaging, typically indicating a consistent distribution of fibroglandular tissue. This is often considered a normal finding and indicates no significant abnormalities or masses within the breast tissue.
Parenchyma is a term mean to describe a bulk of a substance. Homogenous means the 1. same or similar kind or nature 2. of uniform structure or composition. In together Homogenous parenchyma could be described as: A bulk of a substance which has a uniform structure and composition.
The cells in the liver are not uniform, some are different.
Hepatic echogenicity means the nature of ultrasound waves which are reflected from the liver during a sonography. If the waves or echoes are larger than normal then it means that the parenchyma or the functional part of the liver is diseased. The parenchyma is generally affected by fatty deposits within the liver causing hepatomegaly or inflamation of the liver or the parenchmal cells of the liver. Fatty liver disease is completely reversible without any long lasting effects but it takes around three months to reverse it with dietary restrictions.
i just saw my abdominal echo and the results showed mild coarsening of the hepatic echotexture that could be related to diffuse hepatocelluiar disease. what does this mean> can it be cancer of liver?
Parenchyma refers to the bulk of an organ. Thus, the liver parenchyma is the bulk of the liver (not the capsule around it, or the blood vessels that go through it). The brain parenchyma is the bulk of the brain (not the meninges or the spinal cord or optic nerves).
Homogeneous hepatic activity refers to an even distribution of radiotracer uptake in the liver on a nuclear medicine scan. This finding suggests that the liver tissue is functioning uniformly without any areas of abnormal activity. It is a normal finding and usually indicates healthy liver function.
i had test done an it said the liver appears homogeneous in echotexture with no evidence of hepatic mass or perihepatic collecttion ... so i am needing to know what that means do i have cancer in my liver ?
