    Liver

    The liver allows for effective ultrasound imaging. A healthy liver has a homogeneous echo reflection pattern and smooth contours.   The echo reflection pattern of the liver is similar to or slightly higher than that of the renal cortex. The echo reflection pattern and smooth contours of the liver are best evaluated by imaging the right kidney and the right liver lobe together (see fig. 2).
