Abstract
The main research conducted to know the importance of duplex Ultrasonography in the control,
follow-up & the diagnosis of the different types of liver post-transplantation problems. Three
hundred normal liver Doppler scan done to be as a reference (liver span and echotexure by the
naked eye; not by image processing programme - IPP; in young expected normal patients in
relation to normal liver transplanted patients- not a diseased liver, cirrhosis or hepatitis) to the
Sudanese normal livers before starting the research, and about 65 Sudanese patients found with
liver transplantations from them only 45 were available for liver Doppler scan. The data had been
collected from the 300 normal objects population are the students of faculty of medicine in Al
Rabat University (ages between 16-22 yrs., 48 % M; 52% F); the study done during the period
from 1st April 2016 to 30th July 2017. The liver span is in the range (9.5-13.9 cm), the majority is
of homogenous echo - level grading. The Statistical Package for Social Science – SPSS version
20.0 is used; no significant difference found between young males and females, however, that the
upper limit of the liver span is a little bit more than the international values.
Keywords: Liver Texture; Liver Span; Ultrasonography.

1. Introduction
The liver is the body's largest internal organ, weighing about 3 pounds (1.5 kg) in adults. It is
located below the diaphragm on the right side of the abdomen (the right upper quadrant). The
Couinaud system divides the liver vertically along the planes of the hepatic veins and horizontally
along the planes of the left and right portal veins. Understanding of this anatomy is critical for
surgical planning in liver resection and living related donation. These divisions named as lobes
