THE ROLE OF ULTRASOUND IN THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF LIVER NEOPLASMS

Abstract

Introduction Among the focal neoplasms of the liver, there are both benign and
malignant tumors, the approach to the treatment of which is fundamentally different.
Ultrasound examination (ultrasound) is usually one of the first and most frequently
used tools in the diagnosis of liver diseases. The method is accessible, non-invasive,
harmless, relatively inexpensive and allows for a real-time assessment of the liver using
a combination of various ultrasound techniques. The result of this was the emergence
of the term "multiparametric ultrasound". Using various imaging methods, it is possible
to obtain multimodal information about the organ under study, which increases the
diagnostic value of ultrasound. There are no works in the modern literature where a
comprehensive analysis of the possibilities of ultrasound diagnostics in the format of
multiparametric ultrasound using modern and affordable technologies in the diagnosis
of solid liver neoplasms would be carried out.
