Echogenicity refers to the ability of a tissue to send back an echo and show up as a light area in an ultrasound scan. The echogenicity of a tissue can be uniform or non-uniform, and non-uniform echogenicity may indicate abnormal changes within the tissue. Increased liver echogenicity on an ultrasound may indicate liver disease or damage, and can be a sign of fatty infiltration. Echogenicity can also be used to assess the degree of steatosis in asymptomatic patients with liver abnormalities. Overall, echogenicity is an important factor in medical imaging, particularly in ultrasound examinations.
