Hepatic angiomas show all US patterns. Lesions under 3 cm typically appear hyperechoic and homogeneous on ultrasound, aiding diagnosis.

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Hepatology
Radiology

Background:

Hepatic angiomas are common benign liver tumors.
Ultrasound (US) is a primary imaging modality for liver lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the ultrasound characteristics of hepatic angiomas.
To correlate lesion size with echostructure in hepatic angiomas.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of ultrasound images of hepatic angiomas.
Classification of echostructure (hyperechoic, hypoechoic, isoechoic, heterogeneous, homogeneous).
Correlation of echogenicity with lesion size.

Main Results:

All observed ultrasound patterns were consistent with hepatic angiomas.

Related Experiment Videos

Hepatic angiomas less than 3 cm frequently exhibited a hyperechoic and homogeneous echostructure.

Larger lesions demonstrated a wider range of echogenicity and homogeneity.

Conclusions:

Ultrasound patterns are characteristic of hepatic angiomas.
Lesion size is a key factor influencing the echostructure of hepatic angiomas, with smaller lesions often being hyperechoic and homogeneous.
