= Echogenicity
{wiki=Echogenicity}
Echogenicity refers to the ability of a tissue to reflect ultrasonic waves during an ultrasound examination. It is a key concept in diagnostic imaging that helps radiologists and clinicians differentiate between various types of tissues based on how they respond to ultrasound waves. Tissues with high echogenicity appear brighter on the ultrasound image because they reflect more sound waves, while tissues with low echogenicity appear darker, as they either absorb or transmit more sound waves.
