Can contrast-enhanced ultrasonography characterize focal liver lesions and differentiate between benign and malignant thus providing a one-stop imaging service for patients?

摘要

PurposeContrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) displays high sensitivity and specificity in characterizing focal liver lesions (FLLs). We attempted to determine how often CEUS provides an unequivocal diagnosis of FLLs that does not require additional imaging studies.
