Journal ArticleDOI

The current status of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in China

Hui-Xiong Xu, +1 more
- 21 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: CEUS was used in interventional procedures such as CEUS-guided hemostatic injection, intraoperative CEUS in neurosurgery, and evaluation of response to high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of uterine fibroids, and the Chinese experience has resulted in increased use of CEUS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond conventional endoscopic ultrasound: elastography, contrast enhancement and hybrid techniques.

D I Gheonea, +1 more
- 01 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: Despite its advantages in assessing the organs situated near the gastrointestinal tract, EUS is still an operator-dependent technique and the new EUS examination modalities incorporated in modern ultrasound systems allow a highly accurate diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Die letzten Entwicklungen beim Ultraschall der Leber

PD Dr. D.-A. Clevert, +4 more
- 14 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: The principles and clinical impact of recently developed techniques in the field of ultrasound are illustrated and image fusion with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 3D ultrasound will most likely help to improve clinical management before and after interventional procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sonographic patterns of renal lymphoma in B-mode imaging and in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)--a retrospective evaluation.

Corinna Trenker, +2 more
- 01 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: Nodular lymphoma infiltration of the kidneys is the most common of all renal lymphoma patterns in B-mode imaging and CEUS, and the differentiation of renal lymphomas from other malignant lesions of the kidney like renal cell carcinoma is not feasible by CEUS.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Contribution of Qualitative CEUS to the Determination of Malignancy in Adnexal Masses, Indeterminate on Conventional US – A Multicenter Study

Xin-ling Zhang, +9 more
- 15 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: Earlier or simultaneous enhancement with inhomogeneous enhancement yielded the highest capability in differential diagnosis, and Sen, Spe, PPV, NPV, ACC, Youden’s index was 89.6%, 97.2%, 93.6, 93.3%, and 0.88, respectively.

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).
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.
