Digital liver ultrasound is performed in the form of ultrasound, which allows for early detection of small lesions due to the higher ultrasound frequency. It is a more advanced screening tool with much higher resolution compared to normal color ultrasound. The digital liver ultrasound is based on the color ultrasound with the addition of elastic fiber imaging function, using the principle of elastic imaging to check whether there is cirrhosis and fat content, which is more accurate for early diagnosis of cirrhosis and fatty liver and other examinations.
For people who drink a lot of alcohol, take drugs for a long time, and have abnormal liver function, regular digital liver ultrasound can detect cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. early.
The test should be done on an empty stomach. Drinking or eating can affect the test results, so you should fast and abstain from food and water for at least 8 hours.
