Since diseases of the liver and bile ducts are common, a clinician is faced by the need to implement an appropriate diagnostic process. It is necessary to apply diagnostic methods that enable appropriate assessment of the most common pathologies of the liver, i.e. fi brosis, steatosis and focal lesions, as well as initial assessment of the bile ducts. These goals can be achieved using ultrasound methods based on conventional sonography, contrast-enhanced sonography and

Introduction
Liver cirrhosis is a major cause of death and disability globally(1). Studies have shown that 6–7% of the adult population without a known liver disease have liver fibrosis, typically associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(2,3). In this study, the following stages of fibrosis were defined: F0–F1: <7, F2: 7–8.9, F3: 9–11.9, and F4: ≥12 kPa, as these cutoff values have been adopted by the Greek National Insurance Program(4). Those with no risk factors had only a 0.4

Introduction
Klebsiella pneumoniae as one of the most important pathogens leads to many infections including nosocomial and community-acquired infections. K1 or K2 serotype K. pneumoniae-caused pyogenic liver abscess (KLA) is a highly invasive community-acquired infection and often develops serious complications (Siu et al. 2012). Previous studies show that liver abscess infection can be caused by many pathogens and that K. pneumoniae causes less than 10% liver infection (Lee et al. 1991

Abstract
Introduction: Multifocal fatty liver infiltrations are not uncommon ultrasonographic finding; they are explained by the presence of aberrant vascular supply independent of the portal circulation or insulin resistance. Aim: To study the significance of this ultrasonographic finding. Methods: A study group (n = 96) with multifocal fatty liver and two control groups: healthy subjects (n = 100) and patients with diffuse fatty liver disease (n = 100) were enrolled. They were tested for

Non-invasive methods for liver stiffness assessment have been introduced over recent years. Of these, two main methods for estimating liver fibrosis using ultrasound elastography have become established in clinical practice: shear wave elastography and quasi-static or strain elastography. Shear waves are waves with a motion perpendicular (lateral) to the direction of the generating force. Shear waves travel relatively slowly (between 1 and 10 m/s). The stiffness of the liver tissue can be

In this article, we review the role and current status of accessible qualitative ultrasound elastography methods, including recent advances in the evaluation of spleen stiffness and its clinical utility. As study results demonstrate, spleen stiffness correlates with liver fibrosis and is helpful in determining the level of fibrosis in the METAVIR

Childhood obesity is a worldwide epidemic now affecting more than 20% of children and adolescents in the United States(1). As the prevalence of obesity has increased, obesity-related nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a common comorbidity in the pediatric population(2,3). Defined as simple steatosis, NAFLD is the leading cause of chronic liver disease in adolescents and young adults. Chronic inflammation and resultant hepatocellular injury then develop as NAFLD

Hepatic steatosis is a condition of excessive intrahepatocytic accumulation of fat. Steatosis is the hallmark of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and also occurs in patients with alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, HIV and those receiving certain pharmacological treatment(1,2). NAFLD is the most common chronic liver disease affecting approximately 30% of the general population(2,3). Steatosis can progress to liver fibrosis and, eventually, cirrhosis, and it can also worsen the
