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.
