An isochoic wave is a term used in the context of medical imaging, particularly in ultrasound. It refers to a specific type of echogenicity, where the tissues involved present a similar acoustic density or reflectivity compared to surrounding tissues. This results in the wave reflecting back at an intensity that does not differ significantly from adjacent structures, making it difficult to distinguish the isochoic tissue from those around it. Isochoic areas may suggest specific characteristics of a lesion or tissue change.
