Is heterogeneous liver a prelude to liver cancer?

It depends, I was diagnosed with a mild heterogeneous liver back in February 2012. My doctor seems to think it is a mild alcoholic induced fatty liver. My liver panels have always and still do come back normal. I would definitely talk to your doctor, if you are worried and ask for a liver biposy to rule out all possibilities if you wish to pursue that far.


What is homogeneous attenuation of liver and spleen?

Homogeneous attenuation of the liver and spleen on imaging studies usually indicates that the tissues have a uniform density, suggesting that there are no significant areas of abnormality, such as masses or lesions. It may be a normal finding or can be seen in certain conditions like fatty infiltration or certain infections. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the cause of this finding.


What is hepatomegaly with a heterogeneous echotexture mean?

Hepatomegaly with a heterogeneous echotexture means that the liver is enlarged and appears to have a varied and irregular texture on ultrasound imaging. This can be caused by various conditions such as cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, or liver inflammation. Further evaluation, including blood tests and possibly a liver biopsy, may be needed to determine the underlying cause.


What does a 5 mm low attenuation lesion in the left hepatic lobe mean?

I have seen this alot on patient reports. A low attenuation lesion on a certain area of your liver just basically means there is something there it could be a scar or shadow. The low attenuation is a measurement. How strong it is. Low attenuation is good and usually not a concern. If it showed high than it is cause for concern. Repeat your test in 4-6 months just to make sure it does not change.
