@ghaneh_f: Marked hepatic steatosis can create a major ultrasound pitfall when evaluating focal liver lesions. In a fatty liver, soft tissue masses may appear relatively hypoechoic with posterior acoustic enhancement, mimicking a simple cyst because the ultrasound beam penetrates the lesion more easily than the surrounding echogenic liver. In this case, the lesion was FDG-avid on PET and represented metastatic disease in a patient with breast cancer. #radiology #foamrad #foamed #ultrasound #liverimaging
How would you describe this level of steatosis on your ultrasound worksheet?

that would stand out to me (as a sonographer) because the walls aren't clear and smooth. and from my screen it looks like there could be internal echos. this pathology is pretty close to the probe, maybe a 9 lonear would show more detail. I would write "hypoechoic focal area" and throw on color and MV. also, it's hard to see without scanning live but it looks like it is affecting the liver contour, I've never seen a cyst in the liver at that size do that, does that ever happen?

So you always recommend cross sectional imaging if you see any lesion on a fatty liver on US?

What about doppler ?? Is it vascular?
