A visual comparison between the Ultrasound X6-1 Matrix transducer and MRI in lesion detection in the dome of the liver

Imaging the dome of the liver can be a very challenging area to image by Ultrasound. Due to its position inside the ribcage there can be difficulty with rib shadowing artifacts causing the sonographer to miss small lesions. The X6–1 Matrix transducer is one of the newest of its kind and claims to be...
