Uneven echo and low echo are not the same.
Ultrasound belongs to one of the commonly used clinical imaging means, which is examined by using the mechanism of ultrasound reflection. Uneven echoes and low echoes are professional terms often used in ultrasound reports.
1. Uneven echoes on ultrasound usually mean that the internal tissues of the human body are altered. Normal body tissues are more neatly and regularly arranged. Uneven ultrasound echoes refer to subtle structural changes in local tissues, suggesting that the tissue structure and organ structure may have undergone lesions. If the internal echoes of a space-occupying lesion are described as uneven, the possibility of malignant lesions is high.
2. Hypoechoicity is a signal that describes a disease during an ultrasound examination and is intended to help the physician determine the nature of the disease. Sound waves can form different echoes in different tissues. Hypoechoic echoes are echoes of relatively low tissue density, which generally respond to cystic lesions in the tissues and may also be inflammatory. If there is a hyperechoic nodule, you should pay attention to regular review, because this may also be cancerous.
We should not be nervous when there is uneven echo or low echo in the daily examination, it is only a reference result, if the doctor determines that there is indeed a lesion in the body, further examination must be done to prevent misdiagnosis or leakage of the diagnosis.
