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]
