Can an ultrasound see difference between fatry liver and hepatitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not alone: Although ultrasound results can be interpreted to imply some underlying diagnosis they cannot be taken without a full assessment of all other results, beginning with history, physical exam and lab studies. Discuss this with your doctor.
