Description
Ye Jun Park and a ten-author team ask in 2026 whether ultrasound can measure liver capsule thickening in Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, an inflammation of the liver surface tied to pelvic infection. Diagnosis now leans on CT scanning, which brings radiation and contrast dye. Capsule thickness was compared between the two methods in women with the condition.
Ultrasound readings appeared to track CT results, suggesting the simpler scan carries supportive diagnostic information. Ultrasound is cheap, widely available, and radiation-free, which suits the young women most often affected. Pain in the upper right abdomen overlaps with many other conditions, so extra signs help clinicians decide. The authors stop short of replacing CT and call for validation in larger, clinically realistic groups. A standardised ultrasound measure, they argue, has been missing from work on this syndrome.
