Computer tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) of 54 men at the age of 25-65 years was perfomed for definition of liver corners characters value in norm and in cases of fatty hepatosis. The data of US was compared with results of liver corners measurements and densitometric indices, which were obtained by MPR CT. It was determined, that values of liver corners and qualitative characteristic of liver left lobe edge were of no importance for fatty hepatosis diagnostic. On the contrary, semi-circumference curving of liver right lobe is helpful for definition of high degree liver steatosis and can be recommended for practical use in combination with other clinical data.
