What is a right thyroid hypodense nodule mean? i understand thyroid nodule but what is hypodense

Ultrasound character: Hypodense is an ultrasound characteristic that says that the nodule has an ultrasound density that is lower (darker) than the surrounding normal thyroid tissue. These are the most common nodules seen. The risk of thyroid cancer is slighly lower with a "hyperdense" nodule, but most hypodense nodules are nvertheless benign.

Its density vs, the: Hypodense means less dense than the surrounding thyroid tissue. It often describes a cystic lesion, which means it may be benign. But ask your doctor to explain to you what it means and what needs to be done further.

Decreased echoes: Ultrasound exam of thyroid gland can show nodules of decreased echogenicity (hypo dense or hypo echoic)), increased echogenicity (hyper dense or hyper echoic) or mixed with areas of both imaging qualities. Hypodense has usually more consistency of fluid like cyst and hyper dense more like solid tumor.
