A member asked:
In an ultrasound, what does isoechoic mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means: that it is the same echogenicity, or brightness, as adjacent normal tissue. Hyperechoic means it is brighter, hypoechoic means darker. The more reflective the structure, the more echogenic. It is a descriptive term.
