Abstract

The ultrasound examination, capable of non-invasively detecting subtle changes in the liver's structure and form, can be extremely helpful. It is not only useful in identifying liver tumors but also in diagnosing and differentiating various liver diseases. Continuous monitoring with ultrasound is especially valuable in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C, as well as other chronic liver diseases, for understanding disease progression and early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma. It is also used in determining the degree of liver fibrosis. Therefore, our goal is to enhance diagnostic capabilities by describing basic ultrasound findings related to diffuse liver diseases.
