Nachweis und Charakterisierung von Lebermetastasen

H.-P. Weskott
- 15 May 2011 - 
TL;DR: High temporal resolution contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) is capable of detecting even a very short duration of hyper-enhancement during the arterial phase and Radiation protection and lack of adverse effects on renal or thyroid function are additional arguments why CEUS should be recommended as the first imaging modality in the evaluation of hepatic metastases.

Automatic Identification of the Optimal Reference Frame for Segmentation and Quantification of Focal Liver Lesions in Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound.

TL;DR: An automatic computational method to objectively identify the optimal reference frame for distinguishing and hence delineating an FLL, by statistically analyzing the temporal intensity variation across the spatially discretized ultrasonographic image is proposed.

[Hepatocellular carcinoma: diagnosis, staging, and treatment strategy].

TL;DR: Screening the population at risk (mainly patients with cirrhosis of the liver) should include ultrasonographic examination twice yearly, given the vascular characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Pancreatic Ultrasound: State of the Art

TL;DR: An ultrasound (US) study is often the first imaging approach in patients with abdominal symptoms or signs related to abdominal diseases, and it could contribute to a faster diagnosis, especially if the pancreatic lesion is incidentally detected, addressing second‐step imaging modalities correctly.

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.

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).

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.

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.
