Introduction of contrast agents as microbubbles and to improve ultrasound examination techniques has increased the rate of detection and characterization of liver lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is a relatively new method of exploring the liver and diagnosing focal liver lesions (FLL). The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency of microbubbles used for CEUS in managing patients detected in conventional ultrasonography with FLL. We examined 84 patients with FLL, detected on conventional ultrasonography (US), during October 2012-September 2015. We performed contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, using sulphur hexafluoride as a contrast agent, and contrast-enhanced MRI to set the diagnosis. For 37 patients (44.1%) CEUS showed a malignity pattern of enhancement (according to the EFSUMB - European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology- Guidelines 2012), while for 54 (64.3%) patients MRI set the diagnosis of malignity. CEUS detected fewer malignant lesions than MRI, in 20.1% of the cases MRI set de diagnosis. We need further studies in order to improve the quality of CEUS images and technique.
