2024年8月5日 · Hepatomegaly refers to an increase in size or enlargement of the liver. Hepatomegaly can result from a vast range of pathology including, but not limited to, the following: Assessment of liver size is commonly made on ultrasound or CT, although gross hepatomegaly may be apparent on abdominal radiograph. For the adult liver:

3 天之前 · Liver ultrasound, enhanced with Doppler imaging, is a key tool for diagnosing and monitoring liver diseases, vascular conditions, and hepatobiliary disorders. Normal liver. Hepatomegaly: >150MM (common in fatty liver, heart failure, infections, malignancy, Acute/ Fulminate liver failure). Fatty liver [Hepatic steatosis]

2024年11月12日 · Hepatomegaly may be suspected based on physical examination findings or imaging. This topic provides an overview of normal liver size, causes of hepatomegaly, and an approach to evaluating hepatomegaly in adults.

We provide hints in the history, physical exam, laboratories, and imaging that may identify LSDs. Additionally, we discuss molecular testing, arguably the preferred confirmatory test (over biopsy), accompanied by enzymatic testing when feasible.

2024年3月18日 · Imaging tests play a crucial role in the evaluation of hepatomegaly, as they provide detailed images of the liver and surrounding structures. There are several imaging tests commonly used to diagnose and assess hepatomegaly, including ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI.

2016年3月8日 · There is the need for a simple, uncomplicated, reliable and valid technique that can be trusted to measure the liver using 2D ultrasound and a reference value to differentiate between a normal liver and livers with hepatomegaly.

2023年2月20日 · Hepatic steatosis or fatty liver is the most common abnormal imaging finding in liver imaging, which can be related to alcoholic liver disease and nonalcoholic liver disease, including obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

2023年5月4日 · Imaging tests may be used to confirm liver enlargement and offer information about the size and structure of the liver. If imaging tests are ordered, the first may be an abdominal ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create images of your organs.

2011年9月26日 · To detect hepatomegaly in radiologic scans, radiologists commonly focus on landmark-based visual evaluations of the hemidiaphragm, displacement of the stomach, the duodenum, hepatic flexure of the colon, the right kidney, and the lower costal cartilage .

In this paper, nomograms are defined to identify and grade hepatomegaly from automated liver volumetry in CT imaging. The automated liver volumetry software was previously developed by our group [Anonymous] and allows quantifying healthy and diseased livers.
