Intrahepatic cystic low-density shadows refer to the radiological appearance of liver lesions on CT imaging. These shadows are usually caused by hepatic cysts, which are commonly seen in benign liver diseases and generally do not affect health. Small asymptomatic cysts typically require no treatment but necessitate regular follow-up with liver ultrasound examinations at the hospital.
