Harnessing bubble behaviors for developing new analytical strategies

Shizhong An, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: This minireview discusses the newly developed analytical strategies that harness the behaviors of bubbles that have demonstrated the versatility of gas bubbles as a platform for developing new analytical strategies.

Contrast-enhanced sonographic appearance of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the sigmoid colon: a case report.

Yi-jiao Wang, +2 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: The case of a 55‐year‐old man suffering from MFH in the sigmoid colon is reported, with an emphasis on contrast‐enhanced sonography findings.

Motion compensation of ultrasonic perfusion images

Sebastian Schäfer, +5 more
- 23 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: An approach to register an ultrasonography sequence by using a feature label map generated from the b-mode data sequence by a Markov-Random-Field based analysis, which has proven to be more robust against noise influence compared to similarity calculation based on image intensities only.

Does 3D Ultrasound Enhance the Diagnosis of Bladder Tumours in Patients with Haematuria

Miguel Silva-Ramos, +4 more
- 07 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: 3D US was more sensitive than 2D US in diagnosing bladder tumours in patients with haematuria, and showed a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 100% with a positive predicted value and negative predictive values of 100%, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of tumor size and cirrhotic background for differentiating HCC and ICC with CEUS: does it matter for patients undergoing hepatectomy?

Chen Jin, +11 more
- 27 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: Tumor size and hepatic background should be taken into consideration when distinguishing HCC and ICC before surgery, and CEUS is a helpful tool for differentiating malignant and benign hepatic lesions.

New Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors

Patrick Therasse, +10 more
- 02 Feb 2000 - 
TL;DR: A model by which a combined assessment of all existing lesions, characterized by target lesions and nontarget lesions, is used to extrapolate an overall response to treatment is proposed, which is largely validated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Group and integrated into the present guidelines.

Luigi Solbiati, +8 more
- 01 Oct 2001 - 
TL;DR: RF ablation is an effective method to treat hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma and Frequency and time to local recurrence were related to lesion size (P < or =.001).

Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Radio-frequency Ablation of Medium and Large Lesions

Tito Livraghi, +6 more
- 01 Mar 2000 - 
TL;DR: RF ablation appears to be an effective, safe, and relatively simple procedure for the treatment of medium and large HCCs in patients with cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.

Percutaneous RF interstitial thermal ablation in the treatment of hepatic cancer.

Sandro Rossi, +8 more
- 01 Sep 1996 - 
TL;DR: RF interstitial thermal ablation is a useful percutaneous treatment for hepatic cancer and in the patients treated for metastatic nodules, posttreatment imaging studies showed necrosis that varied from 80% to 100% in all cases.

Pulse inversion Doppler: a new method for detecting nonlinear echoes from microbubble contrast agents

David Hope Simpson, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1999 - 
TL;DR: In vitro measurements comparing flowing agent and cellulose particles suggest that pulse inversion Doppler can provide 3 to 10 dB more agent to tissue contrast than harmonic imaging with similar pulses, and in vitro measurements suggest that broadband pulse inverts can provide up to 16 dB more contrast than broadband conventional Dopplers.
