The technique is generally available and allows diagnosing echinococcosis at a stage when parasitic cysts are still small in size, starting from 1.5-2 cm. However, with the high accuracy and specificity of ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of echinococcosis cysts, there are certain disadvantages of the approach.<br />Due to constant study and, accordingly, changes in knowledge about the course of the disease, methods for its diagnosis and treatment, there is no unified and stable ultrasound classification of liver echinococcosis. The paper analyzes the criteria that justify various classifications of echinococcus, substantiates forming trends. The standardized ultrasound classification of hydatid echinococcosis of the liver, which was adopted by the World Health Organization in 2003 and revised in 2010, is discussed.<br />The potential and advantages of dynamic ultrasound monitoring of echinococcal cysts and postoperative characteristics of the residual cavity after echinococcectomy are demonstrated.</p>hydatidosis echinococcusliver, ultrasound diagnosticsclassificationfollow-uppostoperative assessmentгидатидозный эхинококкпеченьультразвуковая диагностикаклассификациядинамическое наблюдениепослеоперационная оценка[Kern P, Menezes da Silva A, Akhan O, Müllhaupt B, Vizcaychipi KA, Budke C, Vuitton DA.
