Question 1

what does 1:160 homogeneous pattern indicate?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Because the ANA is a nonspecific test and can be positive in numerous diseases and even in normals, the meaning must be determined in the context of the clinical symptoms.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

No, but: Not borderline, but only has clinical meaning if associated with specific signs/symptoms/blood abnormalities.

Question 3

good news: It means that the density of the prostate is the same throughout the entire gland.  It usually means there are no suspicious areas.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: The ANA is a screening test for lupus but is not specific. It can be positive in numerous other diseases and in normal people. It has to be evaluated in the context of the clinical picture and the results of other autoantibody tests.

Question 6

homogeneous  echotexture  with sharp margin in prostate what is it  ???

Question 7

i want to know what that mean " the liver is mildly enlarged yet showing homogeneous c.t. density "?

Accepted Answer

Liver CT Results: As you stated, your ct results shows that the liver is slightly enlarged.  No reason for this enlargement is given.  There are many reasons why the liver could be enlarged.  Homogeneous ct density is suggesting that the entire liver looks the same from a ct perspective.  This could suggest that no tumor or other abnormality was seen.  If your doctor wants to further explore, an MRI is usually next.

Question 8

what does this mean is it bad? "the liver demonstrates homogeneous signal intensity without focal lesion"?

Accepted Answer

Sounds normal: I assume the report includes other verbage, but what phrase you are questioning is an observation by the radiologist that the liver is not fatty nor has tumors or cysts.

Question 9

what is the meaning of homogeneous myometrial echo pattern?

Accepted Answer

See below: It's a fancy way of saying... Normal uterus.

Question 10

liver to be homogeneous without focal mass - what does this means?

Accepted Answer

Mine is too: The liver is supposed to be homogeneous -- free of masses, weird textures, bumps, lumps, whatever. Unless there's something else, it sounds like you're just fine. It's normal for physicians to put in a few terms for "normal" as we describe different body parts.  "perrla" -- pupils equal, round, react normally to light and acommodation.".
