Reason I asked is because my Ultrasound provided measurements and noted hepatic echogenicity is normal. No focal hepatic lesions. Normal hepatopedal blood flow is demonstrated within the portal vein. My MRI indicated liver appears normal without mass, porta hepatics lymphadenopathy or venous thrombus. My CT from last year stated: The liver and spleen are homogeneous without any focal defects.
