welcome to hcm ...ok let me try to explain in simple term .
liver does not have any abnormal growth ..normal in size and shape
no gall stone or no stone in common bile duct stone
no disease in liver ..gall bladder ..pancreas ..cbd
.
no infection in abdomen as no free fluid
major vein as ivc inferior vena cava is normal
major artery that supplies blood to abdomen and legs have fat deposition in its walls .but there is no narrowing or dilatation ..a good thing despite deposit as the lipid deposit in majority people with age
so overall all is ok
as a precaution ask her to keep BP ..sugar and lipid profile and body weight under control
