However, have you ever been confused and don't know how to interpret the hepatobiliary ultrasound report? Don't worry, today we will teach you to understand the liver and gallbladder ultrasound report on the basis of 0!
First of all, let's understand the basic principle of hepatobiliary color ultrasound. Hepatobiliary ultrasound is a method that uses ultrasound to examine the liver and gallbladder, which has the advantages of non-invasive, radiation-free and accurate diagnosis. Through color ultrasound, doctors can observe the morphological structure and blood flow of hepatobiliary and gallbladder diseases, so as to diagnose hepatobiliary diseases.
Next, we will teach you how to interpret the hepatobiliary ultrasound report through a few simple questions.
1.Liver size: The report usually indicates the length, width, and thickness of the liver, and these values are within a certain range. If the values are abnormal, they may indicate an enlarged or shrinking liver and require further investigation.
2.Whether the surface of the liver is smooth: Normally, the surface of the liver is smooth and clearly demarcated from surrounding organs. If the surface is not smooth, it may indicate a condition such as liver fibrosis or cirrhosis.
3.Intrahepatic echo: Intrahepatic echo is described in the report, which is normally uniform punctate echo. If the echo is uneven, it may indicate hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, etc.
4.Gallbladder morphology: Gallbladder morphology is also an important indicator of gallbladder health. The normal gallbladder is regular, full, and has a normal wall thickness. If the gallbladder is abnormal, it may indicate cholecystitis, gallstones, etc.
5.Blood flow: Hepatobiliary ultrasound can also observe the blood flow of the liver and gallbladder. Normal blood flow signal is sufficient, and there is no abnormal blood flow signal. If there is an abnormal blood flow signal, it may indicate vascular disease.
6.Test results: show diffuse lesions; In the late stage, the liver is reduced, the surface is uneven, the intrahepatic echo is thickened, enhanced, and unevenly distributed, and may be accompanied by portal vein thickening, splenomegaly, splenic vein curvature, widening, and ascites. --Corresponding disease: cirrhosis of the liver and ascites.
It should be noted that hepatobiliary ultrasound is only a method for diagnosing hepatobiliary diseases, and cannot completely confirm all diseases. If you have any doubts about the test results, it is recommended to consult a medical professional or go to the hospital in time.
