New in Outpatient hospital «Mozums-1» - liver elastography

Date added: 18 01 2019

Elastography or sonoelastography is the most recent method of ultrasound, based on on-line measurements of tissue elasticity.


The examination is carried out just like a standard ultrasound examination. The examined organs are scanned by a physician; when nodes or other suspicious structures are found, the physician includes elastography mode of the device, makes focused measurements of tumor tissue elasticity, and compares their elasticity to the surrounding tissues. For the patient this examination is the same as a regular – he experiences no pain or discomfort.

This examination involves no significant restrictions – it can be performed in all age groups and in pregnant women.

Previous preparation for the examination is not necessary, but if liver elastography is planned, the patient should not eat for 4 hours before the examination.

  

Outpatient hospital «Pardaugava» also offers in-depth liver elastography! 


Combination of the elastography method and conventional ultrasound improves the diagnostic accuracy and allows assessing liver density, respectively, cirrhosis and malignancy risk can be determined. Along with regular sonography can determine more detailed condition of the liver and to evaluate the surrounding organs.


Elastography examination is recommended for patients with:

  • liver fibrosis and cirrhosis,
  • hepatitis A, B, C,
  • liver cancer.
