These lesions are well defined, with isoechoic or hypoechoic appearance and sizes less than 1 cm. They are high in numbers and have a more or less uniform distribution, involving all liver segments. They can crowd resulting in large pseudo tumors. At Doppler examination, these nodules have no circulatory signal.
A mass with a target appearance, i.e. a central hypoechoic area surrounded by an; echolucent rim; An echogenic mass with dense acoustic shadowing due to calcification; A well-circumscribed mass with a hyperechoic rim; Mixed pattern having heterogeneous echotexture and poor-defined contour and
There is a possible association between ultrasound-detected fetal CPCs and Trisomy 18. [6] [7] It is not correlated to the presence of Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).[8] [9] Therefore, genetic counseling is often recommended to provide more information about fetal CPCs, to answer questions and concerns, and to outline available options such as amniocentesis or a blood test from the mother.
In contrast, tissues with lower echogenicity are called "hypoechoic" and are usually represented with darker colors. Areas that lack echogenicity are called "anechoic" and are usually displayed as completely dark. [1]
T1 MRI of the same lipoma: High intensity signal mass with regions of ill-defined margins [23] Ultrasonography of a liposarcoma for comparison: In this case a heterogeneous mass consisting of an upper hyperechoic portion, corresponding to lipomatous matrix, and areas of hypoechogenicity corresponding to nonlipomatous components.
Radwah Oda was diagnosed with colon cancer at 30. She shares five symptoms she dismissed, including narrow stools, blood in the stool, pain and fatigue.
"LATE is defined by changes in the TDP-43 protein in brain tissue and frequently co-exists with Alzheimer’s disease changes, such as buildup of beta amyloid plaques and tau tangles."
On ultrasound, HCC often appears as a small hypoechoic lesion with poorly defined margins and coarse, irregular internal echoes. When the tumor grows, it can sometimes appear heterogeneous with fibrosis, fatty change, and calcifications. This heterogeneity can look similar to cirrhosis and the surrounding liver parenchyma.
