Leitliniengerechte Diagnostik des hepatozellulären Karzinoms

R.R. Plentz, +2 more
- 02 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: The determination of the tumor marker alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is no longer established for early detection but can be used as a supplement in addition in HCC history progressio.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical role of contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound in differentiating pancreatic solid lesions

Chan Sup Shim, +2 more
- 31 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The finding of a hyperenhancing lesion on CEH–EUS, both with homogeneous and inhomogeneous patterns, was a strong predictor of histology different from adenocarcinoma (94% positive predictive value).
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in liver cancer.

Simona Leoni, +4 more
- 12 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: The clinical application of CEUS in the liver study is summarized in this review; the contrast-enhanced patterns of the most frequent liver lesions are described and the role of this imaging technique in the diagnostic algorithm of liver malignancy is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of gastric blood supply in diabetic patients with gastroparesis by contrast-enhanced ultrasound.

Haolin Shen, +6 more
- 22 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: CEUS can assess stomach wall vascularity with a high reproducibility and microcirculation in the antrum of patients with diabetic gastroparesis is poorer than that of normal group, which is consistent with the mechanisms of diabetic neuropathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Case report: Real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for the diagnosis of typical ̔bull's eye̓ sign of hepatic abscess caused by Acinetobacter baumannii in a tumor patient

Meng Wu, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that real-time CEUS may offer important diagnostic elements, albeit not specific, which should, together with a positive cytologic test, confirm the diagnosis of a hepatic abscess.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Percutaneous radio-frequency ablation of hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer: long-term results in 117 patients.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
