About the Book
Multiparametric Ultrasound for the Assessment of Diffuse Liver Disease offers a focused, clinically oriented guide to modern sonographic evaluation. Authored by Richard G. Barr and Giovanna Ferraioli, this volume equips practitioners with the knowledge needed to interpret complex imaging findings and apply them confidently in daily practice. The text emphasizes real-world application, ensuring that readers can seamlessly integrate advanced ultrasound techniques into their diagnostic workflow.
At its core, the book demystifies the layered approach required to assess hepatic parenchyma, vasculature, and tissue stiffness. By combining conventional B-mode imaging with contrast-enhanced and elastographic methods, it provides a comprehensive roadmap for detecting early fibrosis, steatosis, and inflammatory changes. Each chapter is structured to reinforce practical decision-making, helping clinicians navigate ambiguous presentations with greater precision.
