What does complex nodule mean?
Thyroid cysts are nodules filled with fluid. They can be small or large. If a nodule has both solid and fluid parts, it is called a complex nodule, and need to be removed if they cause pain or difficulty when swallowing.

What does a hypoechoic nodule in soft tissues mean?
A thyroid nodule is simply a mass in your thyroid. Hyperechoic is a term used in ultrasound which determines how bright or dark the nodule is. Ultrasound is all black, white, and gray scales, so a hyperechoic nodule would be a mass in the thyroid that is BRIGHTER than the rest of the thyroid tissue.
What is a partially obscured nodule by dependent ateletctasis mean?
A partially obscured nodule by dependent atelectasis refers to a lung nodule that is not fully visible on imaging due to the presence of atelectasis, which is the partial collapse of lung tissue. This can occur when the lung tissue adjacent to the nodule collapses, obscuring part of the nodule's visibility. It suggests that the nodule may be present, but its assessment may be complicated by the surrounding collapsed lung, necessitating further imaging or clinical evaluation to clarify its characteristics.
What does the word nodules mean?
In medical terms, a nodule is a lump that appears on the skin. It is classed as a nodule when it reaches 0.5 centimetres in size. Nodules can appear anywhere on the body.

What does it mean if they find hot nodules after doing a thyroid scan uptake?
After performing a thyroid scan uptake, if it is determined that there is a hot nodule it typically means that the nodule is hyperfuncitioning. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists ThyroidAwareness.com website, "The scan tells whether the nodule is hyperfunctioning (a "hot" nodule), or taking up more radioactivity than normal thyroid tissue does; taking up the same amount as normal tissue (a "warm" nodule); or taking up less (a "cold" nodule). Because cancer is rarely found in hot nodules, a scan showing a hot nodule eliminates the need for fine needle biopsy. If a hot nodule causes hyperthyroidism, it can be treated with radioiodine or surgery."

What does no central calcification mean with a thyriod nodule?
No central calcification in a thyroid nodule typically indicates a lower likelihood of malignancy. Calcifications in thyroid nodules can vary in appearance, and the absence of central calcification suggests that the nodule may be benign. However, further evaluation, such as ultrasound or biopsy, may be necessary to determine the nature of the nodule definitively. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized assessment and recommendations.
What does FDG AVID pulmonary nodule with MAX SUV of 3.2 mean?
An FDG avid pulmonary nodule with a maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of 3.2 indicates that the nodule has increased metabolic activity, as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). An SUV of 3.2 suggests that the nodule is likely to be malignant, although not definitively, as benign lesions can also exhibit increased uptake. Further evaluation, such as biopsy or imaging follow-up, is usually recommended to determine the nature of the nodule.
