“…The overall CEUS sensitivity for hepatic lesions was 86-100%, specificity 80-100%, accuracy 88-98%, positive predictive value 90-97% and negative predictive value 89-96%. 30,46,52,56,62,63,[65][66][67] When compared to non-contrast-enhanced US, CEUS increased the detection 44,45,48,49,59,60 and characterization rates 30,[45][46][47][48][55][56][57]69,73 of hepatic lesions, leading to a more correct diagnosis about their nature. 52,53,[55][56][57]60 The superiority over non-contrast enhanced US was also proved in difficult clinical situations as for example after chemotherapy or for small metastases.…”
