Question 1

what is a "suspicious density"?

Accepted Answer

Density: This means they have seen something on examination - CT, ultrasound, X-ray, MRI that warrants looking into further. They are not able to say with certainty if it is abnormal, malignant or benign.

Question 2

what does soft tissue density mean?

Accepted Answer

Soft tissue density: means that something has the xray attenuation characteristics of soft tissue(for example, an internal organ), as opposed to the density of bone, air, fat, or metal. It is a non specific term.

Question 3

what does fibroglanduar densities b mean ?

Accepted Answer

: The question should have been clearer to give you the best answer, if you had mentioned you were talking about mammogram. I would assume you are, it is not something that you should worry about it is the radiologic terminology of explaining the relative amount of fibrous tissue compared to glandular tissue in the breast. It does not mean there is cancer.

Question 4

what is the meaning of densities in right apex?

Accepted Answer

?TB ?Tumor: If you mean radiologic densities in the right apex of the lung, it warrants exclusion of tuberculosis or a tumor.

Question 5

what is the meaning of suspicious densities,right appex?suggest apico lordotic view?

Accepted Answer

: It possibly refers to suspicious markings, on a chest X-ray, in the right upper lung lobe.  A repeat (lordotic) chest X-ray, taken with the patient positioned, facing the film, with the pelvis held forward and the shoulders held away from the film so the patient is tilted backward, enables a shift of the upper lung, enabling the radiologist to understand the anatomic location of the densities.

Question 6

what do you mean by hazy densities at the right midlung? can you explain it to mw clearly?

Accepted Answer

: It only means what it says -- slight cloudiness in your lungs by Xray (or maybe CT scan or MRI?). It's likely nothing is wrong, but interpretation depends on symptoms you may have and perhaps other lab tests. Results of imaging, complex lab tests, etc are worded for health professionals, not the patient. Best to look mostly at the concluding statement; and discuss with your doctor. Good luck.

Question 7

my mano gram result comprised scattered fibroglanduler densities what does mean is some thing abnormal ?

Accepted Answer

Keep an eye on it: It means that some of the tissue in your breasts are more dense and appear more "white" on the mammogram than normal fatty breast tissue. The tricky part of this is that those densities can hide actual cancers from being seen on the mammogram since they would appear similarly. You may need additional imaging like a breast MRI to make sure there is no cancer lurking behind that dense tissue.

Question 8

my  alv results states that it shows hazy densities in the right apex; consider koch's etiology of undetermined activity. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

TB: Koch's disease, or tuberculosis, is suspected when a chest X-Ray shows changes in the apex of the lungs. Whether this is old, healed TB or active TB is determined by sputum cultures and special blood testing.. A pulmonologist is best qualified to evaluate your situation and advise you.

Question 9

what does faint linear densities mean?

Accepted Answer

Chest xray: These are often reported in chest xrays and are nonspecific. They are usually benign remnants of previous inflammation, but are best explained by the radiologist with whom the ordering physician will confer regarding possible causes, need for additional studies like a ct  scan or when to have a follow-up chest xray in order to assure that the densities are stable and benign.

Question 10

increased density in the fibroglandular parenchyma. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Foreign language!: I'm guessing you are referring to a mammogram, but i could be totally wrong. "parenchyma" is the "representative tissue, " i.e., the tissue that normally lives in the area being studied. Fibroglandular refer to tissue made up of glands (milk glands) and fiber. This could as easily have been stated as "patient has dense breast tissue." that would be common in a 40-year-old woman. Lgromkomd.
