Main Results:

  • Color Doppler effectively visualizes hepatic vasculature.
  • It aids in identifying hemodynamic changes in cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
  • It is valuable for assessing vascular patency after liver transplantation and TIPS placement.

Conclusions:

  • Color Doppler sonography is an indispensable technique in modern hepatic imaging.
  • Its non-invasive nature and detailed vascular assessment capabilities make it vital for managing liver diseases and interventions.
