MULTIPARAMETRIC ULTRASOUND IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF LIVER TUMORS

Abstract

Liver neoplasms represent a group of tumors of benign and malignant nature, and their differential diagnosis is rather challenging. At present, it becomes necessary to select a non-invasive, highly informative and sufficient research method for solving diagnostic problems, staging and treating focal liver lesions. Ultrasound examination using modern technologies has advantages in the diagnosis of focal liver disease. The review highlights ultrasound differential and diagnostic signs of focal liver tumors when using various methods of ultrasound diagnostics.
