| Article Title: | A practical approach to analyzing focal lesions in the liver |
| Abstract: | Ultrasound evaluation of patients with hepatic masses should extend beyond basic lesion detection to characterization and clinical management. A systematic approach for hepatic lesion evaluation using ultrasound makes it possible to triage patients and, in many cases, leads to definitive diagnosis that may eliminate the need for additional imaging.
