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.

Radiofrequency thermal ablation of liver tumors

TL;DR: Radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors is an emerging percutaneous therapeutic option both for small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and for non-resectable liver metastases, mainly from colorectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Echo-enhanced ultrasound voiding cystography in children: a new approach.

TL;DR: USVC may represent a reliable diagnostic tool for the detection and follow-up of VUR in children with direct radionuclide voiding cystography (DRVC) and the overall sensitivity and specificity were 79% and 92%, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography better identifies pancreatic tumor vascularization than helical CT.

TL;DR: CEUS, when the pancreatic gland is optimally visualized, should be considered a complementary imaging modality in the characterization of pancreatic tumors and can be a valid onco-imaging modality for quantifying tumoral vascularization in a noninvasive and accurate way.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of contrast-enhanced sonography and MRI in displaying anatomic features of cystic pancreatic masses.

TL;DR: Contrast-enhanced sonography compares favorably with MRI in displaying the anatomic features of cystic pancreatic masses seen on transabdominal sonography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation: usefulness of contrast harmonic sonography for lesions poorly defined with B-mode sonography.

TL;DR: Contrast harmonic sonography helps in the placement of radiofrequency ablation electrodes in hypervascular hepatocellular carcinomas that cannot be adequately depicted by B-mode sonography.
