Abstract
Ultrasound remains an important and safe first line modality in the investigation of the liver. Although CT is considered the gold standard for liver volume calculation the liver is measured routinely during ultrasound examinations. However, numerous liver ultrasound measuring techniques are practised globally, leading to a lack of standardisation. Alteration in liver size can range from enlargement due to acute pathology to a decrease in size as seen in chronic conditions such as liver cirrhosis. The accurate estimation of liver size is thus useful in diagnosing liver disease, monitoring disease progression and evaluating the liver’s response to treatment...
