(dB) A customary logarithmic measure most commonly used (in various ways) for measuring sound. Decibel is a way to express the ratio of two sound intensities: dB=10log10I1/I2 being I1 the reference.
If one sound is 1 bel (10 decibel) 'louder' than another, this means the louder sound is 10 times louder than the fainter one. A difference of 20 decibel corresponds to an increase of 10 x 10 or 100 times in intensity. The intensity of ultrasound is measured in db/cm and decreases during the propagation. For sound pressure (the pressure exerted by the sound waves) 0 decibel equals 20 micropascal (µPa), and for ultrasonic power 0 decibel sometimes equals 1 picowatt.

Various liver imaging techniques are common to differentiate FNH from a malign lesion, such as contrast enhanced ultrasound, MRI or a CT multi phase study.

(IVP) An intravenous pyelogram is a radiographic study of the kidney, ureters, and bladder. After the injection or infusion of iodinated contrast materials into the vein, the contrast medium is excreted by the kidneys. Due to the higher density of the dye, contrast filled areas appear white on x-ray images. IVPs are used to detect tumors, abnormalities, kidney stones, or any obstructions, and to assess renal blood flow. A pyelogram may also be performed with contrast media injection directly through a ureteral or nephrostomy catheter or percutaneously.
