Liver Ultrasound

Patients suffering from chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis (including hepatitis B and C carrier) are at increased risk of liver cancer. They require regular ultrasound screening of liver, for early detection and treatment of cancer. Ultrasound examination may also help to assess complication from cirrhosis.
For individuals without chronic hepatitis, ultrasound of liver can be used to screen for common problems like fatty liver and obstruction of biliary system.
