Journal ArticleDOI

Current consensus and guidelines of contrast enhanced ultrasound for the characterization of focal liver lesions.

Jae Young Jang, +13 more
- 25 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: The current consensus and guidelines for the use of UCAs for the FLLs that are commonly encountered in US are described, including microbubble UCAs, which are easy to use and robust; their use poses no risk of nephrotoxicity and requires no ionizing radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast enhanced ultrasound of renal masses

Andre Ignee, +3 more
- 28 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: The aim of the this manuscript is to review the current literature for CEUS in renal masses, to summarize the available data and focus on possible concepts for studies in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of cystic and solid renal lesions: a review

Mittul Gulati, +5 more
- 15 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: This review discusses the scientific literature on renal CEUS, with an emphasis on imaging features differentiating various cystic and solid renal lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses: contrast-enhanced harmonic (CEH-EUS), quantitative-elastography (QE-EUS), or both?

Julio Iglesias-Garcia, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: The combination of QE-E US and CEH-EUS is a useful tool for the differential diagnosis of SPT, giving complementary information, however, this combination does not significantly increase the diagnostic accuracy of either of the techniques performed alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of renal pseudotumors.

Silvio Mazziotti, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: In the experience CEUS shows complete concordance with CT and MRI in the characterization of all 24 pseudotumors considered dubious at conventional and power Doppler US, which can reduce the need for contrast-enhanced CT or dynamic MRI in this item.

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).
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
