Summary: | Doppler sonography is being used routinely in evaluating the vascular structures of the native liver because of its ease of use, lower cost, easier availability, lack of need for X-ray and accuracy. Doppler sonography can well demonstrate the vascularization of liver tumors, portal vein thrombosis, portal vein abnormalities in patients with portal hypertension and hepatic venous findings in patients with Budd–Chiari syndrome. The purpose of this article is to present information about Doppler sonography of the native liver and to show its usefulness in the evaluation of hepatic vascular diseases. |
