First of all, ultrasound is a routine item in liver disease screening, and it has no radiation!**Relatively low, for patients with liver disease, it can play a good role in preliminary screening and diagnosis.
However, B-ultrasound examination has certain limitations, especially for the diagnosis of liver cancer, ordinary B-ultrasound can not make accurate judgments, and when necessary, CT examination is also required, which can be said to be a guarantee of B-ultrasound examination.
If there is no abnormality in the ultrasound examination of hepatitis B patients, then there is no need to have a CT scan frequently, because the CT scan has a certain radiation, so we do not recommend that you go for it often.
However, for patients with abnormalities in ultrasound examination, indicating cirrhosis, nodules or mass lesions, then we need you to continue to do further CT examination, and we recommend that you do CT enhancement examination.
If you have a family history of liver cancer, we recommend that you have regular ultrasonography, and if the ultrasound is abnormal, we recommend that you have an enhanced MRI or CT examination.
Why mention the enhancement of magnetic resonance here?
Because if you do it regularly, 1 2 or 2 or 3 times a year, then we recommend that you do an MRI because it is expensive, but it is not radioactive!It's a protection for your body, and it's important to note that you must have an empty stomach before doing these tests. Avoid affecting the results of the examination.
