Core Tip

Core Tip: Multiparametric ultrasound (MPUS) of the liver introduces a new concept for complete liver evaluation. It encourages examiners to utilize the latest features of an ultrasound (US) machine, including conventional B-mode, liver stiffness evaluation, fat quantification, dispersion imaging, Doppler US, and contrast-enhanced US for focal liver lesion characterization. MPUS, in the hands of skilled clinicians, becomes an invaluable predictive tool for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring chronic liver disease.
