Is dense glandular parenchyma dangerous?
Parenchyma just means the bulk of an organ. Your question doesn't say what body part you're asking about, but dense glandular parenchyma in the breasts, for instance, is not dangerous. It probably means your breasts are young, firm, and not particularly fatty or saggy.
What is predominance of glandular parenchyma?
Glandular parenchyma in the breasts refers to the pattern of the breast tissue. If the parenchyma is more complex and dense, a person has a higher risk of breast cancer.
What would this mean Sensitivity is limited due to poor acoustic penetration of the dense hepatic parenchyma?
The liver is so dense that the ultrasound exam couldn't show much, and something may have been missed.
What is Glandular Parenchyma in the areolar regions consistent with gynaecomastia?
Glandular parenchyma refers to the glandular tissue within the breast responsible for milk production. In gynaecomastia, the development of excess breast tissue in males, the glandular parenchyma in the areolar regions becomes enlarged and may contribute to the characteristic swelling or tenderness felt in the breasts. This condition is usually due to hormonal imbalances or changes, and it can be temporary or persistent.
What is asymmetric parenchyma?
What is moderate breast parenchyma?
What is uterine parenchyma?
Parenchyma is the bulk of the organ, so uterine parenchyma means the uterine walls.
Are there any symptoms with heterogeneously dense breast?
Why is breast density significant?Dense breasts contain more glandular and connective tissue. Less dense breasts are mainly made up of fat tissue. Every woman has different amounts of the different types of tissue in her breasts. Breast cancer itself is made up of dense tissue. This means that on a mammogram, a tumor is harder to spot in dense tissue than in fatty tissue, because the tumor looks a lot like the tissue around it. An analogy is often used to describe the way dense tissue looks on film, "It's like looking for a polar bear in a snow storm." Breast cancers are readily seen in fatty tissue with up to 98% sensitivity in film mammography.Dense breast tissue itself is a risk factor for breast cancer, with the risk 4-6 fold higher in women with extremely dense breasts compared to fatty breasts, and breast cancer is more likely to develop in denser areas of the breast. Extremely dense (>75% dense) or heterogeneously dense (51-75% dense) is present in over half of women younger than age 50 years and one-third of women age 50 years and older.
