On sonograms the fatty liver appears diffusely echogenic and the degree of echogenicity is roughly proportional to the level of steatosis. The sonographic changes parallel biochemical and clinic dysfunction. The brightness of the parenchymal echoes is increased and there are more number of echogenic ...
main lobar fissure divides the right and left lobes of the liver; seen in the sagittal plane as an echogenic line between the gallbladder neck and the main portal vein porta hepatis known as the gateway to the liver, a fissure where the portal vein and hepatic artery enter the liver and...
Fatty liver was diagnosed as brightness liver and a diffusely echogenic change in the liver parenchyna, by imaging. Statistical analysis The subjects were divided into four groups according to their BMI and NAFLD status: Lean control and NAFLD, overweight/obese control and NAFLD (lean: BMI <...
the ventral aspect of the liver extends further caudally than is normal and makes the sonographic window for evaluation of the liver much larger. The liver may extend caudally as far as the umbilicus, so that if the probe is placed on the skin midway between the xiphoid...
Difference between liver and spleen CT numbers in the normal adult: its usefulness in predicting the presence of diffuse liver disease. Radiology 137:727–729, 1980. Lewis E, Bernardino ME, Barnes PA, Parvey HR, Soo CS, Chuang VP. The fatty liver: pitfalls in the CT and angiographic ...
Acute liver failure (ALF), a fatal clinical disease featured with overwhelming hepatocyte necrosis, is a grand challenge in global health. However, a satisfactory therapeutic option for curing ALF is still absent, other than liver transplantation. Nanobiomaterials are currently being developed for the ...
Mesenchymal hamartoma is more common in the right lobe of the liver. On US one sees multiple echogenic cysts, but if the cysts are small, the entire tumor might appear as an echogenic mass. The CT typically shows a well-circumscribed, multilocular, multicystic mass that contains low-density...
Gigot type II includes patients with diffuse involvement of liver parenchyma by multiple medium-sized cysts with large areas of non-cystic liver parenchyma remaining. Patients with type III presents large numbers of small and medium-sized liver cysts spread diffusely through the liver parenchyma with...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in children. Non-high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-C) has been shown to be a good predictor of cardiovascular events. Recent data in adults found non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH...
The ECHO confirmed the presence of restrictive cardiomyopathy with hyperechogenic and layered LV myocardium, which could be the sign of storage disease (Figure 2, Supplementary Videos S1 and S2). Chest CT was normal, without any signs of mediastinum lymphadenopathy. Liver MRI confirmed hepatomegaly...
