Take a Load off Your Heart: 109 Things You Can Do to Prevent or Reverse Heart DiseaseHurst's the Heart, 2 Volume Set

Echogenic means pertaining to a structure (such as a tissue) that has echoes inside of it. These echoes are displayed with techniques that use sound waves to produce pictures. An example of such a technique would be an echocardiography, which uses types of sound waves to produce pictures of the heart. Echogenic comes from the Greek word "echo" meaning "sound," the Greek word "genos" meaning "birth," and the Greek word "ikos" meaning "pertaining to." Put the words together and you have "pertaining to (the) birth (of) sound."
