0 the quality of being able to send back an echo (= a sound that reflects off a surface), and therefore showing as a light area in an ultrasound scan (= a medical examination that produces an image using sound waves):
A liver ultrasound showed areas of increased echogenicity.
Endometrial carcinoma can appear as an irregularly thickened endometrium with variable echogenicity.
Several features of those lesions were evaluated, like the total echogenicity and the pattern of vascularisation.
A review of their prenatal sonograms revealed a degree of abnormal renal echogenicity.
Other suggestive findings that may be present are intracranial calcifications and intracranial hemorrhage, microcephaly, brain atrophy, and abnormal periventricular echogenicities.
