DETECTION OF LIVER TUMOR METASTASIS BY ULTRASONOGRAPHY
Keywords:
Liver tumors, liver metastasis, Doppler ultrasonographyAbstract
Research Objective: The purpose of this study is to detect liver tumors by ultrasound and to diagnose liver tumor metastasis areas using Doppler ultrasound.
Methodology: The study was conducted on 100 normal patients who was suffering from liver disease. Data collected from DHQ (district head quarter hospital) Faisalabad and National hospital Faisalabad. The Doppler study of hepatic region to diagnosis the liver tumors and detected the metastasis. Inclusive and exclusive criteria was used according to age group. Good resolution linear array probe (5-15MHZ) was used to design this studies. Three mannerswasutilized: B-mode gray imaging, color Doppler flow, and duplex imaging.
Results: The mean frequency of the patients was on the basis of gender, There was a 100 patients in total, including 55% male and 45% female patients. During study we had outdoor patients 45% and 55% indoor patients. The indoor patients were 55% which effected by liver disease. Fever patients were 84.0%. For the cause, most patients was affected by the virus, alcohol abuse, fatty liver, and smoking. The affected of liver texture by homogenous patients was 52.0% and heterogeneous patients was 48.0% are the diagnosis findings. Hypertrophy of normal size patients were 68.0% and affected patients were 32.0%. Mostly patients had acuities 31% by diagnosis findings of reports of Doppler ultra-sonogram. Liver metastases appearances were present in 13(13%) patients and 87(87%) were not affected by the tumor.
Conclusion: As the ultrasonographic findings were diagnosis the liver tumor metastasis and these sonograms showed the liver right lobe was highly affected. According to this study, the ultrasonography was not giving clear results of metastatic patients; it can be used to diagnosis for initial stages of tumors. Most patients had other diseases of the liver.
