Effects of Gray-Scale Ultrasonography Immediate Post-Contrast on Characterization of Focal Liver Lesions
This study compared the imaging features of conventional gray scale ultrasound (US) before and after contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for focal liver lesions and 22 evaluated the role of US post-CEUS in characterizing liver lesions. 126 patients with 158 focal liver lesions underwent CEUS and US post-CEUS examination and entered this study. There were 74 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), 43 h...
متن کاملContrast enhanced ultrasound for the characterization of focal liver lesions.
AIM to present the practice of two experienced centres concerning the use of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the characterization of focal liver lesions (FLL). MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective, bicentric study, between 09.2009-09.2010 was undertaken and 729 FLL (506-Center A, 223-Center B) were evaluated. A CEUS examination was considered conclusive, if the FLL had a typical enhanceme...
متن کاملEconomic assessment of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for evaluation of focal liver lesions: a multicentre Italian experience.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and economic consequences of the introduction of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) into the diagnostic clinical algorithm for the characterization of incidental focal liver lesions (FLLs). METHODS This prospective study enrolled 485 subjects at three hospitals in Italy. Two diagnostic algorithms were utilized: (1) a classic ...
متن کاملComputer-aided diagnosis for the classification of focal liver lesions by use of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography.
The authors developed a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) scheme for classifying focal liver lesions (FLLs) as liver metastasis, hemangioma, and three histologic differentiation types of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), by use of microflow imaging (MFI) of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. One hundred and three FLLs obtained from 97 cases used in this study consisted of 26 metastases (15 hyper- a...
متن کاملClinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the characterization of focal liver lesions: a prospective multicenter trial.
BACKGROUND Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is increasingly accepted in clinical settings for diagnostic imaging of focal liver lesions (FLLs). This study aimed to assess the efficacy of CEUS in the characterization of FLLs in comparison with final diagnosis based on gold standard assessment. METHODS The study was approved by the local ethics committee and participating patients provi...
