Most diseases of the liver and gallbladder can be sufficiently diagnosed by ultrasound. Therefore, other useless methods can be eliminated and the further procedure of examination is a lot faster and more specific. Ultrasound cannot only give you exact informations about liver-size, consistency and shape, also structural changes of the liver parenchyma and all 3 tubular systems (bile-duct, liver veins and portal vein) can be examined. So far, no other method provided such a great deal of information about the liver-gall-system with such little effort. Therefore ultrasound should be used as the first screening method for all abdominal problems.
大多数肝脏和胆囊疾病通过超声检查就能够得到充分诊断。因此，可以排除其他无用的检查方法，进一步的检查过程会更快且更具针对性。超声不仅能提供有关肝脏大小、质地和形状的确切信息，还可以检查肝实质以及所有三个管道系统（胆管、肝静脉和门静脉）的结构变化。到目前为止，没有其他方法能如此轻松地提供如此多关于肝胆系统的信息。因此，超声应作为所有腹部问题的首选筛查方法。
