Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: CEUS is useful in the initial diagnosis and in the assessment of necrosis after RFA and TACE of HCC nodules, with an overall specificity of 100 %.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance de l'échographie de contraste en pathologie hépatique : synthèse de la littérature

TL;DR: The technical recommendations when using CEUS for liver imaging are described and the different vascular patterns of the most relevant benign and malignant lesions are defined to defined.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Parametric imaging of Dynamic Vascular Patterns of Focal Liver Lesions in contrast-enhanced ultrasound

TL;DR: This work developed a new parametric imaging technique, aimed at mapping the DVP signatures into a single image called DVP parametric image, conceived as a diagnostic aid tool for characterizing FLL types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced sonography and acoustic radiation force impulse imaging in solid liver lesions.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast‐enhanced sonography and acoustic radiation force impulse imaging in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant liver lesions.

New Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors

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.

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

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.

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

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.
