Image for distinguishing normal and abnormal findings

distinguishing normal and abnormal findings

Normal findings indicate that the body’s structures and functions are typical and healthy, such as clear images without unusual shadows or growths. Abnormal findings suggest something out of the ordinary, like irregular shapes, unusual sizes, or unexpected textures, which may indicate issues like infections, inflammation, or other medical conditions. Radiologists and doctors look for these differences to help diagnose problems, so understanding what is typical helps in identifying potential health concerns. The goal is to distinguish between what is normal variation and what may require further investigation or treatment.
