Abstract
Three-dimensional representation facilitates the reading of ultrasonic seriographs of the liver. It uses a conducing wire to provide a correspondence between the xipho-umbilical line and the information collected on the seriographic polaroids. Proceeding from image to image, a more thorough interpretation is possible. This analytical study provides a synthetic representation of the organ. When present lesions are seen on these diagrams and their location and dimensions clearly defined. A precise indication of the height, breadth and thickness of the organ is given, which makes it possible to obtain an accurate approximation of the hepatic volume, taking the morphotype into consideration.
