“…Conventional ultrasound (US) is commonly used as the initial imaging modality for evaluating FLLs due to its noninvasive, safe, affordability, and accessibility [1,28,29] . Reddy and Reddy [30] explained that gray scale US provides valuable information about liver anatomy and hepatic lesions through its excellent spatial and contrast resolution, without the need for contrast-specific agents. However, despite these advantages, the accuracy of US in differentiating FLLs is poor, mainly due to the similarity of echo patterns and vascular architectures [25] .…”

Focal liver lesions (FLLs) include a variety of benign and malignant lesions, hepatocellular cancer (HCC) and metastases are the most common malignant forms of FLLs. FLLs are often discovered incidentally due to the widespread use of imaging modalities. Gray-scale ultrasound (US) is frequently used as the initial screening to detect FLLs. Furthermore, a variety of imaging modalities are used to diagnose FLLs, including contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), contrast and non-contrast of computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Understanding the capabilities of each diagnostic modality is crucial for accurate diagnosis and proper management of FLLs. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive overview of focal liver lesions (FLLs), including their aetiology, epidemiology, and methods of diagnosis.
