Value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in Focal Liver Lesions (FLL) with inconclusive findings on cross-sectional imaging.

Timo Alexander Auer, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: CEUS correctly distinguished malignant from benign FLL in cases with inconclusive cross-sectional imaging findings and achieved high levels of diagnostic accuracy, adding diagnostic value especially in small lesions ≤1 cm while specificity remains limited in larger lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound assessment of complex cystic lesions in renal transplant recipients with acquired cystic kidney disease: preliminary experience

N. Paudice, +9 more
TL;DR: CEUS seems to correctly characterize BI and BII cysts that are not clearly defined by standard ultrasound, and solid nodules and BIII lesions for further evaluation by CT are characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic nomogram for gallbladder wall thickening mimicking malignancy: using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography or multi-detector computed tomography?

Li-Da Chen, +11 more
- 26 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: The proposed nomogram could be conveniently used to facilitate the preoperative individualized prediction of malignancy in patients with gallbladder wall thickening with equivalent efficacy compared to MDCT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does the echogenicity of focal liver lesions on baseline gray-scale ultrasound interfere with the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound?

Guang-Jian Liu, +7 more
- 10 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: The echogenicity of FLLs on baseline gray-scale US does not appear to interfere with the diagnostic ability of CEUS for small FLL's, and the diagnostic performances were evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of Global Liver Blood Flow With Quantitative Dynamic Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound

Thomas Gauthier, +5 more
- 01 Mar 2011 - 
TL;DR: This study assessed the potential of quantitative analysis of contrast bolus kinetics to reflect global liver blood flow and found it to be within the range of reasonable expectations.

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.
