Abstract

Objective: The aims of the study were determination of the range of CTHFN in different categories of FLD by USG and to compare CT Hounsfield Numbers with ultrasonographic categorization of the FLD.

By purposive sampling 186 patients of FLD were sampled from Department of Radiology, Maharishi Markandeswar Medical College and Hospital Kumarhatti, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, The data was collected for 9 months.
