Is Doppler/Dopplex ultrasonography reliable in the assessment of percutaneous ablative therapies of hepatocellular carcinoma: a prospective cross-sectional study
Abstract:Introduction
After hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) interventional therapies, noninvasive vascular diagnostic imaging [duplex, Color/power Doppler ultrasonography, and triphasic computed tomography (CT)] determines the lesion complete/incomplete ablation. The aim was to analyze the usefulness of duplex, color/power Doppler ultrasonography in HCC ablation after percutaneous ablative therapies (PATs).
Methods
We included 30 patients with 33 HCCs subjected to duplex/Doppler ultrasonography, ultrasound-guided fine… Show more
