Real-life assessment of standardized contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and CEUS algorithms (CEUS LI-RADS®/ESCULAP) in hepatic nodules in cirrhotic patients-a prospective multicenter study.

European radiology·2021

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a key tool for liver lesion diagnosis. It helps differentiate benign from malignant focal liver lesions (FLLs), guiding appropriate patient treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an established diagnostic imaging technique.
  • It is frequently used as a first-line method for detecting and characterizing focal liver lesions (FLLs).
  • Accurate differentiation of benign from malignant FLLs is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the role of CEUS in characterizing FLLs.
  • To highlight enhancement patterns of common FLLs based on recent guidelines.
  • To differentiate benign FLLs from malignant lesions using CEUS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recently published guidelines on CEUS for FLL characterization.
  • Analysis of CEUS enhancement patterns for common FLLs.

  • Comparison of CEUS features to differentiate benign and malignant lesions.

    • Main Results:

    • CEUS demonstrates distinct enhancement patterns for various FLLs.
    • Specific patterns aid in differentiating common benign lesions like hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia, and hepatocellular adenoma from malignant lesions.
    • CEUS is effective in the characterization of FLLs.

    Conclusions:

    • CEUS plays a vital role in the characterization of FLLs.
    • Understanding CEUS enhancement patterns is essential for accurate diagnosis.
    • CEUS facilitates appropriate therapeutic decisions by differentiating benign from malignant liver lesions.
