Liver ultrasound is important for screening of hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatitis virus associated chronic hepatitis, and cirrhosis. It is also useful for diagnosis and follow-up of diffuse and focal liver diseases. Liver ultrasound is noninvasive and has no risk of radiation, so we can safely apply it on children and pregnant women. In this article, we discuss how to perform liver ultrasound for better imaging. The liver is the largest organ in abdomen, difficult to examine by one image on a screen, so it is essential that the examiner scan liver systemically. For a better examination, we should keep in mind the followings: 1) Overnight fasting or fasting for 6 hours is necessary prior to an examination. 2) Use a convex probe (2-5 MHz) and, if needed, a linear probe (7-12 MHz). 3) Couinaud's 8-segment anatomy is useful for localizing hepatic lesions. 4) Subcostal, intercostal, longitudinal, and transverse scans are necessary for each segment and vascular structures. 5) It is necessary to understand characteristic ultrasound findings of benign and malignant tumors when a lesion mass is found. 6) If ultrasound examination is done incompletely due to bowel gas or severe obesity, consider abdominal CT or MRI for further evaluation. 7) Changing the patient's position is sometimes necessary.

Objectives: This study aimed to report a case of alcoholic hepatitis with megaloblastic anemia that improved with Korean medicine treatment.Methods: A 27-year-old woman with alcoholic hepatitis and megaloblastic anemia was treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion. The responses before and after treatment were evaluated using blood tests, ultrasound imaging, the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS), and the numerical rating scale (NRS).Results: Post-treatment, blood tests showed improved liver function test, lipid test, and anemia work-up. Ultrasound imaging showed improvement in the superoinferior diameter of right lobe, from 13.02 to 11.09, and the fatty liver improved. The CIS score decreased from 107 to 55. Fatigue diminished from NRS 10 to NRS 3, and dizziness dropped from NRS 5 to NRS 1. The abdominal distension slightly decreased, from NRS 7 to NRS 5.Conclusion: Korean medicine treatment might be effective for treating alcoholic hepatitis with megaloblastic anemia.

Introduction: Biometrics therefore corresponds to the measurement of the morphological elements of humans. One of the most common ultrasound requests by clinicians is the assessment of liver size. The aim of our study was to study liver biometry using ultrasound in healthy adult subjects. Material and Methods: This was a prospective, descriptive and analytical study, carried out at CHU Point-G over a period of 7 months. A liver ultrasound was performed on 100 individuals without lesions, by a doctor in his final year of specialization in radiology and medical imaging. For each subject, we determined the height and anteroposterior diameter of the right liver and the left liver. Results: The mean age was 39.05 ± 16.86 years. The body mass index (BMI) 18.5 -24.9 group was the most represented with 58%. The mean height of the right liver was 138.40 ± 14.85 mm. It was 136.81 ± 14.70 mm in men and 139.92 ± 14.99 mm in women (P = 0.306). That of the left liver was 95.55 ± 14.34 mm, in men, it was 91.79 ± 13.51 mm and 99.16 ± 14.31 mm in women (P = 0.019). We found a significant correlation between right liver height and BMI (P = 0.013). Conclusion: The mean values of liver biometry were established in our series. There was a significant correlation between right liver height and BMI. Liver ultrasound remains a reliable technique for liver biometry.
