Diagnosis of Liver Pathology by Ultrasound
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: From many years ultrasonography (USG) is used to evaluate liver diseases. Common liver diseases like hepatomegaly, cirrhosis, fatty degeneration, metastatic deposition,liver abscesses. Ultrasound is non invasive, safe,effective, low-cost, time conserving and primary investigation for liver pathologies. Study objective was to ascertain ultrasound techniques assist in diagnosing different common liver pathological diseases. Material and Methods: 592 patients were selected during 2014-2016 from outpatient departments with clinical suspicion of abdominal pathology. Total abdominal scans of all patients were performed by using 3-5MHz frequency convex transducer. Results: There were 243 patients with positive ultrasound findings revealed that 48%were clinically suspected having liver related common pathologies and 52 were not clinically suspected. Out of those remaining 349 were negative ultrasound 31 (11%) cases were clinically suspected. Conclusion: Ultrasonography allows for reliable and accurate detection of moderate-severe liver pathologies, compared to histology.
