Abstract
On suspicion of the diffusive liver lesions 117 patients have been performed a transabdominal ultrasound investigation with a visual estimate of the echogenicity of the structure of the liver's parenchyma in comparison with the echogenicity of the cortical substance of the kidney and with the determination of the homogeneity of the liver's structure on its different areas. For the purpose of the elevation of the self-descriptiveness and precision of diagnostics as well as for the reduction of the subjective estimation the authors carried out the evaluation of the structure of the liver's parenchyma and the cortical substance of the kidneys using the histography on the marked area. The elaboration of the efficient quantitative assessment of the changes of the liver's parenchyma allowed to relieve complications in differential diagnostics and to estimate the damage level of the organ's parenchyma objectively during the investigation.
