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.

Detection of parenchymal abnormalities in acute pyelonephritis by pulse inversion harmonic imaging with or without microbubble ultrasonographic contrast agent: correlation with computed tomography.

TL;DR: Tissue harmonic imaging and pulse inversion harmonic imaging are sensitive techniques for depicting renal parenchymal lesions in acute pyelonephritis despite relatively lower specificities and negative predictive values.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction in voiding cystourethrographies after the introduction of contrast enhanced sonographic reflux diagnosis.

TL;DR: The number of VCUGs was significantly reduced as a result of the implementation of VUS as part of the routine diagnostic imaging modality for VUR, Consequently, the number of children that would have been exposed to ionising radiation was reduced by over half.
Journal ArticleDOI

Renal blood flow in pigs: changes depicted with contrast-enhanced harmonic US imaging during acute urinary obstruction.

TL;DR: Interlobar RI is a good predictor of renal perfusion pressure but not of changes in renal blood flow, while contrast agent-enhanced harmonic ultrasonographic imaging and Doppler hemodynamics during acute urinary obstruction depict changes in kidney blood flow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of neuroendocrine tumour metastases in the liver using contrast enhanced ultrasonography

TL;DR: In patients with liver cirrhosis and severe fatty liver disease the identification of NET with CEUS as a malignant lesion is more difficult, and the sensitivity of CEUS in identifying malignancy based on the lack of portalvenous enhancement is higher for metastases of other origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma: predicting success using contrast-enhanced sonography.

TL;DR: Postprocedural enhanced sonography has the potential to guide completion of radiofrequency ablation at the time of initial therapy when residual disease is detected.
