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?
Minimal residual hepatic parenchyma means there's not much functional liver left.
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 ?
What is heterogeneous echotexture
what does this possibly mean. The uterus is borderline enlarged and shows heterogeneous echotexture, which is nonspecific. A uterine fibroid in the anterior body is possible
This is A SOLID MASS o the lining of the uterus
Course inhomogeneous echotexture refers to a type of ultrasound finding characterized by a heterogeneous, uneven appearance of tissue echoes, often indicating the presence of abnormalities or irregularities within the tissue. This echotexture can suggest various conditions, such as inflammation, fibrosis, or tumors, depending on the organ being examined. It contrasts with a homogeneous echotexture, which appears uniform and smooth. Radiologists often use this descriptor to guide further evaluation and diagnosis.
hepatic
Diffusely increased echotexture in the liver is typical of a fatty liver. When a liver is fatty it takes on a spongy appearance. This can be caused by either alcoholic or non alcoholic reasons.
no
The hepatic portal vein in frogs is unusual in that it is divided into two portals, the hepatic and the renal. In higher vertebrates, the hepatic portal system is the only one present.
The blood within the hepatic sinusoids drains into the hepatic vein.
Hepatic refers to the liver.
