THE ROLE OF DOPPLER ULTRASOUND IN DIAGNOSING CHRONIC LIVER DISEASES: INSIGHTS FROM A CROSSSECTIONAL STUDY

Abstract

Background: Chronic liver diseases (CLD) represent a significant global health challenge, 
requiring effective and non-invasive diagnostic methods. Doppler Ultrasound (DU) has 
emerged as a promising tool for assessing liver pathology, particularly in diagnosing liver 
fibrosis and cirrhosis through vascular pattern analysis. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic 
utility of Doppler Ultrasound in chronic liver diseases and compare its efficacy with 
conventional diagnostic modalities.
