What Is The Whitish Area On My Right Lobe After An Ultrasound Of Liver?
I had a ultrasound done of my liver, found a whitish area the size of 5.4 cm on my right lobe, I clearly saw it with my own eyes, now I had a MRI done and doctors say there's nothing on my liver when you can clearly see it on an ultrasound. I'm 21 weeks pregnant. What can it be or why can't they see anything on the MRI?
Ultrasound is a widespread method all over the world. It is cheap, fast and harmless method. But it is not an exact method. Ultrasound images sometimes are fallacy, like in your case. An ultrasound technician with work experience can easily find mistakes.
MRI is a sophisticated and exact method. If MRI is negative, there is no reason to worry about.
Regards. Dr. Behar.
