When we experience pain in the right hypochondrium, the first problem that comes to mind is a liver disease. At this time, we consult an ultrasound specialist.
Examinations in liver disease
There are many devices that examine the liver. These examinations include:
- Ultrasound examination
- Computed tomography
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Elastometry or elastography device (both names refer to the same device)
Determination of the fibrosis process
Using elastometry, a modern technology, we must clarify the fibrosis process taking place in the liver. If we timely investigate and diagnose the fibrotic process, or in layman's terms, the hardening in the liver, of course, it will be much better.
