Ultrasound Echogenicity Quiz

Renal sinus, pancreas, spleen, renal cortex decrease in echogenicity.

Parasitic infections are often found in the right lobe of the liver.

A detached endocyst signifying a Hydatid cyst in ultrasound imaging.

Hepatoblastoma is associated with increased alpha fetoprotein levels.

Formed by the splenic vein and inferior mesenteric vein.

Normally shows flow toward the transducer using an intercostal approach.

Portal veins supply about 50% of the liver's oxygen needs.

Indicates hemolysis when aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase levels are normal.

Hepatic adenoma is associated with oral contraceptive use.

Daughter cysts are related to Hydatid disease.

Cirrhosis commonly causes enlargement of the caudate lobe.

IVC dilation is not a secondary sign of portal hypertension.

Most commonly linked with Glycogen storage disease.

The sign is described as 'wheel within a wheel' on ultrasound.

The caudate lobe is located posterior to the porta hepatis.

Typically appears as a smooth hyperechoic mass on ultrasound.

Echogenic foci may represent Pneumocystis carinii infection.

Glisson's capsule is the covering of the liver.

Doppler suggests portal venous hypertension.

Hepatic adenoma linked to glycogen storage disease.

IVC dilation is not considered a secondary sign of portal hypertension.

Normal levels indicate no hepatoblastoma or liver disorders.

Cirrhosis can lead to changes in liver lobe structure, particularly the caudate lobe.

Distinctive signs include the 'water lily' appearance in cases of hydatid infection.

Negative and positive values may suggest portal vein flow issues.

Usually looks like a large smooth mass on ultrasound.

Portal veins conduct blood to the liver for processing nutrients.

Indicates liver function via bilirubin despite normal enzymes.

Identified as a mass linked to contraceptive use and glycogen storage pathology.
