CHARACTERIZATION AND DETECTION OF NORMAL LIVER TEXTURE USING ULTRASOUND

Abstract

The main research conducted to know the importance of duplex Ultrasonography in the control, follow-up & the diagnosis of the different types of liver post-transplantation problems. Three hundred normal liver Doppler scan done to be as a reference (liver span and echotexure by the naked eye; not by image processing programme - IPP; in young expected normal patients in relation to normal liver transplanted patients- not a diseased liver, cirrhosis or hepatitis) to the Sudanese normal livers before starting the research, and about 65 Sudanese patients found with liver transplantations from them only 45 were available for liver Doppler scan.
