A member asked:
Is a abdoman ct scan accurate at determining how much a liver is enlarged or is a liver ultrasound more precise ? ... my ct scan says 18.5 ... my previous ct scan 1 year ago was normal .. blood work results are ok ...?

Ultrasound is more dependent on the technologist's skill. An enlarged liver of 18.5 cm can be detected by physical exam. If your liver enzymes are normal, you should request a repeat liver ultrasound if your doctor could not detect hepatomegaly by exam. By the way, what is the reason for repeated liver imaging tests?
