CA. I'm a native Oregonian, but spent some years in SF, Santa , and Petaluma. I worked as an EMT while in SF in the Army. Army trained as a field medic, then I went to Golden Gate University for EMT I, II, and III. After I moved from SF, I never used these license or skills again.

wrote: Good question . I don't know. I know it is much easier that a biopsy, and that over three years I have seen a reduction in the size of some spots that show up in the ultrasound, and that this last one looked clearer than any I'd had before. From this I assume things are getting better. My doctor says they are, and doesn't see a need to confirm it with a biopsy, so... I had two ultrasounds at the VA hospital in Portland OR before they said I should have a biopsy. The biopsy confirmed what the ultrasounds had shown. I think it is pretty common practice to use ultrasound for this purpose as it is less invasive than the biopsy.

One question though, and I'm just trying to understand, not to minimise what you're saying. Is ultrasound a good test for showing cirrhosis?
