Turning the tide (and the probe)—sonographic liver measurement in the right lateral anterior axillary line is a reliable alternative to the standard frontal approach in term and preterm infants

Sonographic liver measurement in the lateral AAL yields results equivalent to the standard frontal method and may offer a practical alternative when standard access is limited. Supporting minimal handling of newborns, the approach is particularly relevant in neonatal intensive care and provides a methodological basis for further evaluation of the lateral view.
