A member asked:
Can you tell the difference between fat and calcification on ovary on an ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: Calcifications will be more focal, bright, and should have a fairly distinct, well defined shadow behind them. Fat will also appear somewhat bright but the shadow behind it will be less well defined, .
