Question 1

anyone know what is a hypodense lesion in the liver?

Accepted Answer

Hypodense: Hypodense is a descriptive term used by radiologists to describe an abnormality in the liver seen on a ct scan. There is no other meaning, however, okay to review with your doc. Depending on any symptoms, abnormal blood tests, your other diagnoses, and your exam your doc may want to advise you on several possibilities, such as follow up image in 3 to 6 months, a biopsy, reassurance.....

Question 2

what is a 2.0 cm hypodense lesion of the left adnexa? also trace free fluid within the pelvis.

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a cyst: Without seeing the entire report and images we can not interpret the results. It sounds like they are describing a very small 2 centimeter ovarian cyst which is typically a benign finding. A trace amount of free fluid is generally a normal finding. Contact the ordering physician who can interpret it in the proper clinical context

Question 3

hypodense liver lesion what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Sounds: like a hepatic cyst but should be confirmed by a high resolution study such as MRI/MRA.

Question 4

there is presence of large non-enhancing predominantly hypodense lesion(hu-80) seen involving the upper and mid pole of right kidney. it measures ~166?

Accepted Answer

Worrisome: This sounds worrisome but need to know more info and a picture would be helpful.

Question 5

hi! what do the words "with progressive enhancement and with restricted diffusion" mean referred to a hypointense lesion in the liver? also what are the main differences between a hypointense and a hypodense lesion in the liver? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: Imaging and pathology reports are not written for patients themselves, but for their doctors and (in this case) other radiologists.  Patients should focus primarily on the interpretation, conclusion or diagnosis, usually at the end of the report. The meaning of these findings can't be judged without knowing a lot more about your case. Read the conclusion then discuss with your doctor. Good luck.

Question 6

hypodense hepatic lesion of ( 3.5 cm ) is noted after gastric sleeve by 28 days. what could be the cause of that & how to solve that?

Accepted Answer

: Hypodense lesion in the liver can be a Cyst or something more serious. it depends on how well you feel. If you have no fever or pain in the abdomen, it is unlikely to be anything serious. I would recommend an Ultrasound of the liver which can tell the difference between benign cyst versus other problems like liver abscess(which will cause fever). Seek urgent medical attention if you have fever.

Question 7

hi, 
hypodense lesion is seen involving left lobe of liver and measures 88x90x65mm" this is what my dad's report says. pls help me!

Accepted Answer

Hypodense liver: The list of causes of hypodense liver lesions is rather extensive and can be either benign or malignant.  More clinical information would be necessary.    In the absence of any underlying disease  - i would recommend close followup and perhaps maybe a liver specialist visit for possible biopsy.   Good luck

Question 8

what does a hypodense white matter lesion on ct scan mean?

Accepted Answer

White matter lesions: Lesions in the brain are not good.  Hypodense lesions are seen which lead to further studies to evaluate the lesions for infection or malignancy.  Discuss any findings with your neurologist (ms, sarcoid) or neurosurgeon.

Question 9

had ct scan and it showed i had hypodense lesion infarcts. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Hypo-dense lesions: Hypodense lesions from infarcts means that there was loss of brain tissue as a result of lack of blood supply to the brain.  This may be due to lack of blood flow or obstruction of blood flow to that area of the brain where the lesions are noted on the Head CT.  Hope this helps!

Question 10

i have a 5mm hypodense lesion on spleen, detected by non contrast ct scan. potential causes and next steps?

Accepted Answer

The vast majority: of incidentally discovered splenic lesions like this are benign cysts, pseudocysts, or hemangiomas requiring no treatment.  Further evaluation with ultrasound or contrast enhanced CT or MRI may be useful for a more confident characterization of the lesion.  Talk to your doc about it.
