Hypoattenuation is a term used to describe areas that show up as whiter and brighter than normal on an x-ray or CT Scan. Hypoattenuating lesions are commonly referred to in regards to the liver or kidneys. If your doctor looks on your CT scan and spots an area on your kidney or liver that is whiter or brighter than it should be, this is a hypoattenuating lesion. The lesion could be a sore or a cyst, but it could also be the sign of something more serious, such as a tumor.
