Liver Ultrasound

A liver ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the liver. It helps doctors assess the liver's size, shape, and texture, and identify any abnormalities like tumors, cysts, or fatty liver disease. The procedure involves placing a small amount of gel on the skin over the liver area and using a handheld device called a transducer to capture images. It is safe, painless, and does not involve radiation, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring liver conditions. Results typically inform further treatment or management plans if needed.
