This whole thing about liver lesions is really confusing to me. My previous liver MRI said the following:
MRI done on 1/16:
Hepatic segment 5 simple cyst measuring 0.5
cm. Hepatic segment 8 cyst measuring 0.4 cm. No suspicious hepatic lesions
identified. No biliary ductal dilatation.
If they identified them as cysts, that means that they were pretty sure right?
and then my CT scan from 9/16:
HEPATOBILIARY: Now apparent mild hepatic steatosis. Unchanged
too small to characterize subcentimeter hypodense liver lesion, probably
cyst.
and the most recent CT scan from 10/17:
HEPATOBILIARY: Fatty liver. Tiny low-density too small to characterize in segment 8 is unchanged. A tiny low density in segment 7 is not visible on prior cross sectional imaging.
How come the other spots were deemed cysts, but they didn't write anything about this new one? I guess they have to watch it over a few months to be able to say it's a cyst (if in fact it is a cyst)?
