A new technique called Ultrasound-based Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)imaging is
performed using standard approved ultrasound machines and transducers but the sound waves or
impulses are produced in a different pattern. We are going to evaluate the usefulness of
this new technique in diagnosing different liver conditions.
