Journal ArticleDOI
Microbubble Ultrasound Contrast Agents: An Update
TL;DR: CEUS with low transmit power allows real-time scanning with the possibility of prolonged organ insonation and tumor-targeted microbubbles make possible the depiction of specific biologic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: CH-EUS is useful for characterizing conventional EUS-detected solid pancreatic lesions and may play an important role in the characterization of small tumors that other imaging methods fail to depict and may improve the diagnostic yield of E US-FNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in diagnosis, treatment and palliation of pancreatic carcinoma: 1990-2010
TL;DR: Clinical trials to evaluate new chemo and radiation protocols as well as identification of genetic markers for PC are needed to improve the overall survival of patients affected by PC, as the current overall 5-year survival rate is still less than 5%.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel perfusion imaging technique of the pancreas: contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (with video)
Masayuki Kitano,Hiroki Sakamoto,U. Matsui,Yasuhiro Ito,Kiyoshi Maekawa,Tammo von Schrenck,Masatoshi Kudo +6 more
TL;DR: In contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CEH-EUS) as discussed by the authors, the authors used a prototype echoendoscope equipped with an adequate broad-band transducer that can detect harmonic signals from the US contrast agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound for evaluation of thyroid nodules
TL;DR: In this article, the enhancement patterns of thyroid nodules on gray-scale contrast-enhanced ultrasound (US) were characterized and evaluated in the differential diagnosis of malignant thyroid nodule.
