Abstract

The individual accuracies of A-scan and compound B-scan ultrasonography in the diagnosis of liver disease are similar. The development of neither technique is fully advanced, and it is to be expected that improvements in instrumentation and analysis will lead to better diagnostic accuracy. It is emphasised that the two methods are complementary, and a higher degree of accuracy is obtained when both methods are used together.
