Heterogeneous attenuation of the liver refers to a pattern seen on imaging studies like a CT scan where there are areas of varying density or brightness in the liver, rather than a uniform appearance throughout. This can be caused by a variety of conditions such as fatty infiltration, inflammation, or tumors affecting different parts of the liver. Further evaluation is usually needed to determine the underlying cause.

What is heterogeneous echogenicity of the liver with 2 irregular hypoechogeneous areas?
what is heterogeneous echogenicity
What is heterogeneous liver parenchyma?
The cells in the liver are not uniform, some are different.
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 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.
What is hypoechoic echotexture?
On ultrasound, the liver appears to be made of different types of matter, not just one type.
What is a heterogenous liver?
A heterogeneously hyper-echoic mass is a lump that shines white on ultrasound, but not inform in color.
Does attenuation happen when EM wave travels in space?
There is no attenuation due to absorption, but attenuation will occur due to divergence (spreading out) of the wave.
What is a good value for dB attenuation?
6 dB is a "good" attenuation.
How do you reduce attenuation effects?
We can reduce attenuation effects bt using repeaters
What is breast attenuation as in nuclear stress test?
breast attenuation correction meethods
Where can you find information about attenuation?
Attenuation means the reduction of signal strength during transmission. If one is looking for information about attenuation, it can be found on the Wikipedia website.
