Question 1

i got sick..its not the flu, low liver function..blood now in stool? had an ultrasound that showed some black spots on liver. should i be concerned??

Accepted Answer

Yes: Need to follow up with the doctor who ordered the ultrasound.  Blood in the stool is also something that needs to be addressed as well. Go back to the doctor for further care.

Question 2

is it normal to see on the sonogram,black spots on my liver ?my dr will give me the results untill monday.im so paranoid thinking of alot of things .

Accepted Answer

That's on every scan: Every ultrasound scan has white spots and black spots. That's the way they appear. Patience is a virtue. If the doctor says the results can wait until Monday (3 days from now), then one can do other things and think other thoughts until then. If the scan is to diagnose something urgent, such as appendicitis, the doctor wouldn't say it's ok to wait for the results.

Question 3

i just got my kidney ultrasound done and there's black spots around the kidney is this normal? the right one

Accepted Answer

CT: You should have Ct with contrast to find the cause so be treated.

Question 4

is black spot normal on a liver ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Might be the gall bladder, hepatic or portal vein. Need to actually see the spot.

Question 5

a small black spot on my liver the size of a penny was found during an ultrasound. i'm being sent for an mri scan but am worried sick?

Accepted Answer

May be nothing ...: This may just be a benign area in the liver.  There are several things which can develop - cysts, benign tumors (adenoma, focal nodular hyperplasia).   The MRI should help tell what this may be.  Liver cancer is rare if there is no cirrhosis in the liver.  Hang in there.

Question 6

i had an xray done of my spine and saw black spots air/fat at my liver could that be fatty liver showing up or just gas?

Accepted Answer

: Plain spine X-ray can not detect fatty liver. The black image in plain X-ray is air pocket, likely the transverse colon.

Question 7

today i saw black spots on the screen, within the tissue,while having sonogram,what is that?

Accepted Answer

Speckle? Not sure.: I am not sure what you are referring to, and without a picture from the sonogram, it is hard to say definitively. Most ultrasound pictures have "speckle" - grains of white &amp; black spots from places of reflection (or no reflection) of the ultrasound waves. Black on a sonogram generally refers to low reflectivity, &amp; can point to free fluid, cysts or fluid-filled structures (bladder, blood vessels).

Question 8

what does black spots on my breast ultra sound mean?

Accepted Answer

Cyst?: A round or oval black area with well defined borders is most likely a cyst.

Question 9

my abdomen is distended along with constant discomfort;  along with feeling extremely fatigued. now light brown stool with black spots.concerned?

Accepted Answer

NOT good if melena: Dark-colored stools may result from iron supplements, foods you eat (like a lot of spinach), substances (like peptobismol), but most significantly suggests bleeding. When blood is denatured by acid in your stomach, as from ulcers, stools will turn tarry ("melena"). Blood may also be ingested from nose bleeds, bleeding gums. Stop any nsaid's you're taking, ; call your doctor right away 4 evaluation

Question 10

i was wondering are spots on liver ultrasound cancer?

Accepted Answer

Spots?: Need to see the scan to know what you are seeing. "spots" just doesn't supply enough information for a reasonable answer. You could have seen blood vessels, cysts, or anything. Ask your doctor.
