Hepatocellular nodules in liver cirrhosis: contrast-enhanced ultrasound.

Tae Kyoung Kim, +4 more
- 21 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: CEUS can be effectively used in the diagnostic algorithm of small (1–2 cm) newly detected nodules during HCC surveillance and helpful to characterize potential mimickers of HCC on imaging such as nontumorous arterioportal shunt or hemangioma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound (ECEUS) for the differentiation of pancreatic lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mirko D'Onofrio, +7 more
- 16 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: The sensitivity, specificity, and DOR results show the high value of CEUS for the characterization and differentiation of ductal adenocarinomas from other pancreatic diseases and for cystic pancreatic lesions.

Characterization of Primary and Recurrent Nodules in Liver Cirrhosis Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: Which Vascular Criteria Should Be Adopted? Charakterisierung primärer und rekurrierender Knoten bei Leberzirrhose mittels kontrastverstärkter Sonografie: Welche vaskulären Kriterien sind anzuwenden?

Simona Leoni, +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of different vascular patterns at contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) on the characterization of small liver nodules (10-30mm) in cirrhosis and to determine wheth- er primary nodules and recurrent nodules dis- play variations in enhancement pattern.

Acute complicated pyelonephritis: contrast-enhanced ultrasound

Teresa Fontanilla, +7 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe in detail the CEUS findings in acute pyelonephritis, and to determine if abscess and focal pyelinopathy may be distinguished.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christoph F. Dietrich, +9 more
- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: The current applications of elastography in lymph nodes (LNs) assessment by endoscopic ultrasonography will be further discussed in this paper, with a review of the literature and future perspectives.

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.
