Intraoperative cerebral glioma characterization with contrast enhanced ultrasound.

Francesco Prada, +13 more
- 12 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: This study characterizes for the first time human brain glioma with CEUS, providing further insight regarding these tumors' biology and economic tool that might be helpful during surgery in differentiating malignant and benign gliomas and refining surgical strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast enhanced ultrasound for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): Comments on AASLD guidelines

Ana Paula Barreiros, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2012 - 
TL;DR: Contrast-enhanced US may offer false positive HCC diagnosis in patients with cholangiocarcinoma and thus, has been dropped from the diagnostic techniques, according to the present commentary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic Accuracy of CEUS LI-RADS for the Characterization of Liver Nodules 20 mm or Smaller in Patients at Risk for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Jia-Yan Huang, +8 more
- 01 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: The contrast-enhanced US Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (CEUS LI-RADS) algorithm was an effective tool for characterization of small (≤20 mm) liver nodules in patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Renal cell carcinoma: real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings.

Zuo-Feng Xu, +6 more
- 01 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: Hyper- or iso-enhancement during the cortical phase, subsequent washout in late phase, inhomogeneous enhancement, and perilesional rim-like enhancement are clues for R CCs, which might be useful for characterization of RCCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A two-stage multi-view learning framework based computer-aided diagnosis of liver tumors with contrast enhanced ultrasound images

Le-Hang Guo, +10 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: The experimental results indicate that the proposed DCCA-MKL framework achieves best performance for discriminating benign liver tumors from malignant liver cancers and it is proved that the three-phase CEUS image based CAD is feasible for liver tumors with the proposed MLC framework.

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.
