Eight of 12 patients referred to an ultrasound clinic were eventually found to have a liver abscess. All 8 abscesses were confirmed positively by ultrasonic examination. Using ultrasound, an amoebic abscess can be accurately located within the liver and the optimal site for needling suggested to the clinician. Ultrasound is an accurate, non-invasive, diagnostic aid in this condition.
转至超声诊所的12名患者中，最终有8人被发现患有肝脓肿。所有8个脓肿均经超声检查确诊。通过超声检查，可准确确定肝内阿米巴脓肿的位置，并向临床医生提示最佳穿刺部位。超声在这种情况下是一种准确、无创的诊断辅助手段。
