  2. Ultrasonography of liver tumors - Wikipedia

    It is unique or paucilocular. It can be associated with other types of benign liver tumors. Characteristic 2D ultrasound appearance is that of a very well defined lesion, with sizes of 2–3 cm or less, showing increased echogenity and, when located in contact with the diaphragm, a "mirror image" phenomenon can be seen.

  3. Chronic liver disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_liver_disease

    Testing for chronic liver disease involves blood tests, imaging including ultrasound, and a biopsy of the liver. The liver biopsy is a simple procedure done with a fine thin needle under local anaesthesia. The tissue sample is sent to a laboratory where it is examined underneath a microscope. [3]

  4. Hepatocellular carcinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocellular_carcinoma

    High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) (as opposed to diagnostic ultrasound) is an experimental technique which uses high-powered ultrasound waves to destroy tumor tissue. A systematic review assessed 12 articles involving a total of 318 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with Yttrium -90 radioembolization. [ 84 ]

  5. Liver biopsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_biopsy

    Primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis may require biopsy, although other diagnostic modalities have made this less necessary. [1] Occasionally, liver biopsy is required to monitor the progress of treatment, such as in chronic viral hepatitis. [1] It is an effective way to measure changes in the Ishak fibrosis score. [3]

  6. Liver disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_disease

    Approximately 3–10% of individuals with cirrhosis develop a form of liver cancer known as hepatocellular carcinoma. [43] According to Tilg, et al., gut microbiome could very well have an effect, be involved in the pathophysiology, on the various types of liver disease which an individual may encounter. [ 44 ]

  7. Focal nodular hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_nodular_hyperplasia

    Ultrasound of malformed vessels within the fibrous scar of focal nodular hyperplasia. Liver tumor types by relative incidence in adults in the United States, with focal nodular hyperplasia at right. [3] Focal nodular hyperplasia's most recognizable gross feature is a central stellate scar seen in 60–70% of cases.

  8. Cholangiocarcinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholangiocarcinoma

    Micrograph of an intrahepatic, i.e. in the liver, cholangiocarcinoma (right of image); benign hepatocytes are seen (left of image). Histologically, this is a cholangiocarcinoma as (1) atypical bile duct-like cells (left of image) extend from the tumor in an interlobular septum (the normal anatomical location of bile ducts), and (2) the tumor ...

  9. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

    Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.
