A practical approach to analyzing focal lesions in the liver

Ultrasound evaluation of patients with hepatic masses should extend beyond basic lesion detection to characterization and clinical management. A systematic approach for hepatic lesion evaluation using ultrasound makes it possible to triage patients and, in many cases, leads to definitive diagnosis t...

Summary:Ultrasound evaluation of patients with hepatic masses should extend beyond basic lesion detection to characterization and clinical management. A systematic approach for hepatic lesion evaluation using ultrasound makes it possible to triage patients and, in many cases, leads to definitive diagnosis that may eliminate the need for additional imaging.
