“…CEUS has been shown to be helpful in tumor localization during ultrasound guided biopsy [8,15,19] and increase the accuracy of percutaneous needle biopsy in tumor diagnosis by targeting hyperperfused viable areas inner lesion [8,9]. For instance, previously literature showed that biopsy sampling success rate and pathological diagnosis rate were 100% and 98.1% with CEUS guided percutaneous biopsy in peripheral pulmonary lesions [9].…”

Aim. To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guided biopsy of undetermined abdominal lesions in multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) decision-making approach. Methods. Between Jan 2012 and Dec 2015, 60 consecutive patients (male, 37; female, 23; mean age, 51.3 years ± 14.6) who presented with undetermined abdominal lesions were included. CEUS and core needle percutaneous biopsy was performed under real-time CEUS guidance in all lesions. Data were recorded and compared with conventional ultrasound (US) guidance group ( = 75). All CEUS findings and clinical data were evaluated in MDT. Results. CEUS enabled the delimitation of more (88.3% versus 41.3%) and larger (14.1 ± 10.7 mm versus 32.3 ± 18.5 mm) nonenhanced necrotic areas. More inner (20.0% versus 6.7%) and surrounding (18.3% versus 2.7%) major vessels were visualized and avoided during biopsies. CEUS-guided biopsy increased the diagnostic accuracy from 93.3% to 98.3%, with correct diagnosis in 57 of 60 lesions (95.0%). The therapeutic plan was influenced by CEUS guided biopsies findings in the majority of patients (98.3%). Conclusion. The combination of CEUS guided biopsy and MDT decision-making approach is useful in the diagnostic work-up and therapeutic management.

“…This real time perfusion imaging is also being proven to be particularly useful for evaluating antiangiogenicbiologic anti-neoplastic therapies [6]. as well as image guided local-regional therapies such as chemoembolization [7] and radiofrequency ablation [8] were intra-procedural dynamic imaging of tumor perfusion can be used to determine the completeness of therapeutic vascular embolization and tumor destruction [9]. Furthermore, CEUS might allow sensitive and specific evaluation of abdominal trauma.…”

“…Moreover, detection of hypervascularity in early HCC was significantly improved with CEUS compared with dynamic studies such as CT or MRI (12). To our knowledge, few studies have assessed the usefulness of CEUS-guided RFA electrode insertion into inconspicuous HCCs during the arterial phase of SonoVue (3,(13)(14)(15)(16).…”
