Our Liver Scanning Ultrasound Service explained by expert Sonographer Sadie

Are you curious about your liver health? Our Liver Scanning Ultrasound Service, led by our skilled Imaging team at Benenden Hospital, is here to provide answers.

Our cutting-edge ACUSON Sequoia Ultrasound System, developed by Siemens, combines traditional ultrasound technology with innovative software. It’s like giving your liver a high-tech checkup!

Liver stiffness changes due to factors like inflammation and fatty infiltration. The speed of sound waves through liver tissue differs significantly between normal and diseased livers. This forms the basis for our elastography measurements.

Who will benefit?

Anyone with abnormal liver function tests, those who are overweight, or at risk of liver disease should consider a liver scan. Early detection allows for lifestyle changes that can potentially reverse the process before irreversible damage occurs. High-Risk Individuals: If you have type 2 diabetes, struggle with obesity, consume excessive alcohol, or face viral hepatitis risk, this service is tailor-made for you.
