A member asked:
My ultrasound showed " mildly echogenic liver throughout, consistent with diffuse fatty changes. no focal lesions noted." is my liver enlarged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: You provided part of the radiologic findings, but from the particular highlighted statements , there is no statement or finding that suggests an enlarged liver. Usually the term "enlarged" or hepatomagly will be included. Just know you can have changes consistent with fatty liver without an enlarged liver. Best of luck.
