What does term nion-shadowing echogenic focus mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a Stone: Stones or calcifications will block the ultrasound beam and cause a sonic shadow. An echogenic focus produces more echoes and appears brighter than surrounding tissues. Small ones in the liver are typically hemangiomas but they can represent a variety of lesions.
