Detection of colorectal cancer hepatic metastases with contrast-enhanced ultrasound: comparison with conventional B-mode ultrasound.
The aim of this study was to assess whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) could provide improved diagnostic information in detecting liver metastases from colorectal cancer as compared to B-mode non-enhanced ultrasound (B-US). 32 patients (M/F 23/9, age range 48-82 years, mean 58.2 years) under chemotherapy for colorectal cancer were examined with B-US and CE-US using a second-generation...
متن کاملContrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the evaluation of liver metastases.
Liver metastases are the most frequent malignancies of the liver. The grayscale sonographic appearance of metastases varies: they can be hypoechoic, hyperechoic, they can present a peripheral halo, they can have an infiltrative or cystic appearance. On contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), in the arterial phase, liver metastases can be hyperenhancing (hypervascular ones) or hypoenhancing (hypova...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasound shines in detecting liver metastases
"In our opinion, in the evaluation of patients with suspected metastases, a hepatic ultrasound exam must be performed only after contrast administration," said Dr. Vito Cantisani, a radiologist at the University of Rome La Sapienza. Researchers put low mechanical index (MI) real-time CEUS, conventional B-mode ultrasound, and 64-slice CT to the hepatic detection test on 88 patients with suspecte...

متن کاملIntraoperative electrochemotherapy of colorectal liver metastases.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Electrochemotherapy is effective in treatment of various cutaneous tumors and could be translated into treatment of deep-seated tumors. With this aim a prospective pilot study was conducted to evaluate feasibility, safety, and efficacy of intraoperative electrochemotherapy in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases. METHODS Electrochemotherapy with bleomycin was...
