Core Tip

Core Tip: Ultrasound can be utilized as a screening and first imaging technique in alveolar echinococcosis (AE). It is also capable of offering direction for interventional procedures. For the purpose of planning and supervising procedures as well as diagnosing patients with AE, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are essential. Particular importance is given to interventional methods while diagnosing and treating complicated patients. Radiology is essential in helping doctors make early diagnoses and suitable treatment decisions.
