Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: Controversy over the ASSLD Guideline

Le-Hang Guo, +1 more
- 18 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that prospective studies with strict design and large case series are mandatory to solve the controversies and stratification of ICC in terms of tumor size and liver background is also essential.

Nouvelles recommandations pour l'utilisation des agents de contraste ultrasonores : mise à jour 2008

Jean Michel Correas, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: Comparison-enhanced ultrasound improves the diagnosis of renal pseudo-tumors but does not allow characterization of solid focal masses, and is useful for the study of pancreatic masses visible at ultrasound in order to improve lesion visualization and characterization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast enhanced ultrasound of splenic lymphoma involvement

Christian Görg, +5 more
- 01 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: CEUS has no clear advantage for diagnosis of splenic lymphoma involvement, and the value of CEUS therefore was classified as worse.

Actualización del uso de contrastes en ecografía. Revisión de las guías clínicas de la Federación Europea de Ecografía (EFSUMB)

Tomás Ripollés, +1 more
- 01 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: The authors revisar las indicaciones actuales en el ambito radiologico de contrastes ecograficos sobre la base of la reciente publicacion of unas guias clinicas by the Federacion Europea de las Sociedades de Ecografia en Medicina and Biologia (EFSUMB).

Transfontanellar contrast enhanced ultrasound in infants: Initial experience

Adrian Kastler, +8 more
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: TCEUS appears to be a potential bedside accessible non-ionizing alternative imaging modality in the assessment of neonatal brain injury and provides additional information when compared to non-enhanced transfontanellar US, especially in the field of brain perfusion assessment.

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.

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.

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.
