echogenicity /echo·ge·nic·i·ty/ (-je-nis´i-te) in ultrasonography, the extent to which a structure gives rise to reflections of ultrasonic waves. echogenicity the characteristic ability of a tissue or substance to reflect sound waves and produce echoes. Bone and gas are most echogenic and fluids such as urine and bile the least. Organ parenchyma and soft tissues are intermediate, but each differs slightly from the other and relative characteristics are known. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| 2) EUS features of malignancy include extraluminal growth pattern, involvement of the muscularis propria, abnormal 5-layer architecture at the margin of the lesion, larger size, irregular borders, inhomogeneous echogenicity, and eroded surfaces. Although acute thrombus can be missed because of its low degree of echogenicity, thrombosed veins are typically dilated and incompressible, and they feature either a lack of venous pulsations or a flow that does not vary during sniffing or Valsalva's maneuver. Ultrasonographic imaging of the vasculature and heart indicated that the mpSi showed high echogenicity and produced strong contrast enhancement with no change in vital signs or evidence of acute cardiovascular or respiratory adverse effects. |
