What is moderate breast parenchyma?
What is moderate breast parenchyma?
"Parenchyma" means the bulk of an organ. You don't mention the body part you're worried about, but in a breast, fibroglandular parencyma is the normal breast tissue, not a sign of a precancerous condition.
what is heterogeneously dense breast parenchyma?
Parenchyma
Predominance of glandular parenchyma in the breast refers to an increased proportion of glandular tissue compared to other breast tissues. This can occur in conditions such as fibrocystic changes or dense breast tissue. It can make it harder to detect breast lesions on imaging studies like mammograms.
Glandular parenchyma in the breasts refers to the pattern of the breast tissue. If the parenchyma is more complex and dense, a person has a higher risk of breast cancer.
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.
Breast parenchymal density refers to the prevalence of fibroglandular tissue in the breast as it appears on a mammogram. Heterogeneous means 'not the same'
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).
Fibroglandular parenchyma is the combination of fibrous and glandular tissue found in the breast. This tissue is responsible for producing and transporting milk in breastfeeding women. Changes in fibroglandular tissue density can affect mammography results and breast cancer risk assessment.
Glandular parenchyma means organ tissue that excretes substance (milk, in this case). The areolar regions are in the neighborhood of the nipples. Consistent with means that the following word is the likely diagnosis, and gynecomastia is abnormal growth of the breasts in a male.
Parenchyma is the bulk of the organ, so uterine parenchyma means the uterine walls.
