Possibilities of the ultrasound method for evaluation of diffusive changes in the liver parenchyma
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasonography in assessing diffuse changes in the liver. A study was conducted of the interactions between conventional B-mode ultrasonography, ultrasound elastography of the liver and doppler ultrasound of hepatic. It is concluded that it is advisable to use elastography in routine ultrasound, even in the absence of changes in the conventional B-mode ultrasonography. Dopplerographic examination of portal blood flow is an additional method that allows you to suspect diffuse changes in the liver, but is not the method of choice for the diagnosis of portal hypertension
