What is a hypodense area in kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypodensities: Hypodense areas are usually consistent with cystic ctructures, where hyperdense areas would be more consistent with solid lesions. This is not always the case, and sometimes a ct scan will need to be done if there is a question between cystic or solid lesions.
