Examination of liver metastases with contrast enhanced ultrasonography

Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2012, Vol 39, Issue 1

Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the effect of contrast enhanced ultrasonography in examination of liver metastases Materials and methods: Totally 13 metastatic liver lesions were examined in 13 cases. These lesions were examined by dynamic contrast enhanced ultrasonography with Levovist 2.5/4 gr. flk (contrast agent that contains galactose and palmitic acid). Vascular phase (arterial-portal) and parenchymal phase enhancement patterns were investigated in these lesions. Results: The sensitivity and specifity of vascular phase enhancement and later phase perfusion defect in these lesions were found as %76.92 and %100 respectively. Conclusion: Dynamic contrast enhanced ultrasonography is an effective method in characterization of liver metastases.
