Liver injuries are characterized in several key ways:
- People have tenderness and pain in the abdomen that sometimes radiates to the shoulder.
- Doctors use computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography to detect liver injuries.
- Liver injuries often heal without treatment, but sometimes surgery is needed to repair the injury or to remove part of the liver.
