In recent years

China has made significant progress in the field of liver ultrasound research

providing more accurate and reliable means for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Reviewing the clinical research on liver ultrasound in China in 2023

the hotspots in clinical research on diffuse liver diseases are mainly the quantitative assessment of fatty liver and the diagnosis of liver fibrosis with new ultrasound technologies. The clinical research on focal liver diseases focuses on the precise diagnosis of liver tumors and the related applications of artificial intelligence technology. In the field of diagnosis and treatment of liver disease with minimally invasive interventional ultrasound

it covers the optimization of ablation treatment strategies in liver tumors

the risk assessment of post-ablation complications

and prognosis evaluation

etc. The achievements in the field of liver guidelines and consensus in 2023 will also be introduced in this article.
