Guidelines and good clinical practice recommendations for Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in the liver - update 2012: A WFUMB-EFSUMB initiative in cooperation with representatives of AFSUMB, AIUM, ASUM, FLAUS and ICUS.

TL;DR: These liver CEUS guidelines and recommendations are intended to create standard protocols for the use and administration of UCA in liver applications on an international basis and improve the management of patients worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI

The EFSUMB guidelines and recommendations for the clinical practice of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in Non-Hepatic Applications: Update 2017 (Long Version)

TL;DR: The updated version of the EFSUMB guidelines on the application of non-hepatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) deals with the use of microbubble ultrasound contrast outside the liver in the many established and emerging applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

The diagnostic and economic impact of contrast imaging techniques in the diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis

TL;DR: In patients with cirrhosis with a 1–2 cm nodule detected during surveillance, a single imaging technique showing a typical contrast pattern confidently permits the diagnosis of HCC, thereby reducing the need for FNB examinations.

Imaging of focal liver lesions: low-mechanical-index real-time ultrasonography with SonoVue.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of a contrast‐enhanced contrast‐specific ultrasonographic technique with a low mechanical index for characterization of focal liver lesions.
Journal Article

Ultrasonography of the pancreas.

TL;DR: Scanning techniques used to image the pancreas, and ultrasonographic findings of canine and feline pancreatitis and canine pancreatic neoplasia, are explained.

Improved characterisation of histologically proven liver tumours by contrast enhanced ultrasonography during the portal venous and specific late phase of SHU 508A

TL;DR: PIUS performed during the portal venous and liver specific late phase of Levovist may differentiate between benign and malignant liver tumours in most cases, with the exception of abscesses, scars, necrosis, cysts, and calcifications, which need to be excluded clinically and by conventional B mode ultrasonography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrasonographic detection of focal liver lesions: increased sensitivity and specificity with microbubble contrast agents.

TL;DR: In this field the use of US contrast agents appears to have advantages over formerly used non contrast-enhanced methods although no conclusive results are available yet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound with low mechanical index: a new technique.

TL;DR: The first use of contrast-enhanced, low mechanical index, real-time endoscopic ultrasound (CELMI-EUS) in six patients using prototype technology preliminarily shown that arterial, portal venous and parenchymal contrast enhancement is possible.
