Texture analysis is considered very helpful in staging and classification of fibrosis. Liver ultrasound is used to analyze the texture features in different position of patients to identify the fibrosis. Methodology: Fibrosis quantification can be done with the help of ultrasound which is also effective and low cost. The study was conducted in the Radiology Department of Lahore General Hospital from the period of March 2019 to July 2019.Total of 100 patients were involved in the study. The position in diagnosis represents the left and right ROIs. The negative and positive predictive values were 100 and 90%.The parameters of sensitivity and specificity indicates the 80% and 100 %. Key words: Fibrosis, Texture, B-mode, parenchyma
