Economic assessment of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for evaluation of focal liver lesions: a multicentre Italian experience.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and economic consequences of the introduction of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) into the diagnostic clinical algorithm for the characterization of incidental focal liver lesions (FLLs). METHODS This prospective study enrolled 485 subjects at three hospitals in Italy. Two diagnostic algorithms were utilized: (1) a classic ...
متن کاملComputer-aided diagnosis for the classification of focal liver lesions by use of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography.
The authors developed a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) scheme for classifying focal liver lesions (FLLs) as liver metastasis, hemangioma, and three histologic differentiation types of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), by use of microflow imaging (MFI) of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. One hundred and three FLLs obtained from 97 cases used in this study consisted of 26 metastases (15 hyper- a...
متن کاملContrast enhanced ultrasound for the characterization of focal liver lesions.
AIM to present the practice of two experienced centres concerning the use of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the characterization of focal liver lesions (FLL). MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective, bicentric study, between 09.2009-09.2010 was undertaken and 729 FLL (506-Center A, 223-Center B) were evaluated. A CEUS examination was considered conclusive, if the FLL had a typical enhanceme...
متن کاملContrast - enhanced Ultrasound in Focal Liver Lesions – Guidelines for Clinicians
The main aim of this multicentre prospective study was to determine the clinical value of SonoVue administration for the characterisation of focal liver lesions incidentally detected in oncological or cirrhotic patients. Eight hundred and seventy four consecutive patients with 1034 nodules (diameter between 5 and 100 mm) not fully characterised by conventional US or previous single-phase CT-sca...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the evaluation of incidental focal liver lesions: A cost-effectiveness analysis
AIM To determine whether contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) as the first-line method is more cost-effective in evaluating incidentally discovered focal liver lesions (FLLs) than is computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Between 2010 and 2015, our prospective study enrolled 459 patients with incidentally found FLLs. The biological nature of FLLs was assess...
