Overview
There are no other imaging findings associated with [disease name].
OR
[Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other Imaging Findings
- Electroencephalography may be helpful in the diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy but, the findings in Electroencephalography are not specific for diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy.
- Findings on an electroencephalography suggestive of hepatic encephalopathy include:[1]
- Reduced frequency in the posterior derivations
- Increase in interhemispheric parietal relative coherence within the theta band
These findings could be seen in patients with Child class C and in patients with a history of overt hepatic encephalopathy; they correlated with hyperammonemia and hyponatremia.[1]
- Alterations in the electroencephalography are significantly associated with the severity of liver disease and hepatic encephalopathy In patients with cirrhosis.[1]
- the electroencephalography is also helpful in the determining prognosis of patients with liver disease and hepatic encephalopathy.[1]
