Utilization of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Diagnosis of Focal Liver Lesions
Conclusion: CEUS provided a definitive diagnosis of indeterminate liver lesions in approximately 90% of patients and avoided the need for biopsy in most patients. In cases where the liver lesions were biopsied, CEUS accurately distinguished malignant versus benign lesions as confirmed by biopsy find...

| description | Conclusion: CEUS provided a definitive diagnosis of indeterminate liver lesions in approximately 90% of patients and avoided the need for biopsy in most patients. In cases where the liver lesions were biopsied, CEUS accurately distinguished malignant versus benign lesions as confirmed by biopsy findings. CEUS, therefore, has the potential to provide a precise diagnosis for the majority of indeterminate lesions. |
