German term or phrase: verdichtet
This is taken from a medical report about a patient with a pacemaker. It forms part of the results of an abdominal ultrasound examination.

Leber: Gut beurteilbar. Organe nicht vergrössert. Regelrechte Kontur. Oberfläche glatt. Echomuster homogen und nicht verdichtet. Pfortader perfundiert (20 cm/s). Lebervenen perfundiert.

Does verdichtet here refer to the type of echo pattern?
