What is this hypoattenuating lesions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low density: Hypoattenuating is a term that means low x-ray density. Lesion means a non normal area but not necessarily bad (cancer or infection). There are many benign lesions. Usually, a low density lesion is benign but should be investigated further.
