With the rapid development of medical imaging technology, the application of ultrasound technology as the preferred method for the screening and diagnosis of liver diseases, from traditional two-grayscale ultrasound to today’s intelligent multimodal ultrasound imaging technology, plays an important role in formulating reasonable treatment plans and prolonging the survival time of patients. This article systematically expounds on the application progress of eight ultrasound new technologies in liver lesions, analyzes the advantages and limitations of each technology, and provides references for clinical practice and scientific research.
