AbstractContrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been widely accepted as a diagnostic tool for the detection and evaluation of benign and malignant liver lesions and has been implemented into the clinical routine as a tool for percutaneous interventional real-time image guidance. CEUS can be combined with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) datasets using real-time image fusion to additionally surveil proper interventional treatment and assess treatment success. This review describes the state-of-the-art use of CEUS for the surveillance and monitoring of interventional procedures of the liver and for the evaluation of postinterventional success.

Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common cause of primary liver cancer. A major part of diagnostic HCC work-up is based on imaging findings from sonography, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) allows for the dynamic assessment of the microperfusion pattern of suspicious liver lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of CEUS compared with CT scans for assessing HCC. Methods We performed a retrospective, single-center study between 2004 and 2018 on 234 patients with suspicious liver lesions who underwent CEUS and CT examinations. All patients underwent native B-mode, color Doppler and CEUS after providing informed consent. Every CEUS examination was performed and interpreted by a single experienced radiologist (European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology level 3). Results CEUS was performed on all included patients without occurrence of any adverse effects. CEUS showed a sensitivity of 94%, a specificity of 70%, a positive predictive value of 93% and a negative predictive value of 72% for analyzing HCC compared with CT as the diagnostic gold standard. Conclusions CEUS has an excellent safety profile and shows a high diagnostic accuracy in assessing HCC compared with corresponding results from CT scans.
