Hello, thanks for writing in to HCM.
I have read your report, and will explain in brief what it means.
- liver has a homogenous echotexture: this is normal, uniform appearance of the liver parenchyma ; heterogeneity would be abnormal.
- no focal lesion: no obvious mass or cystic lesions etc are seen: this is normal. Lesions would show up as bright or dark spots on an ultrasound.
- size 13.3cm: normal size.
- no ductal dilatation: which means no evidence of lesion in the ducts which drain the bile.
Overall it is a good report.
Hope I have answered your query. Do write in if you have any doubts.
