Focal liver lesions: Doppler ultrasound

N Hosten et al. Eur Radiol. 1999.

Abstract

Echo patterns of focal liver lesions as well as other morphological criteria do not suffice for differential diagnosis. In an attempt to increase the specificity of ultrasound of focal liver lesions, several years of Doppler-flow information was evaluated. Recent advances in ultrasound technology (power Doppler imaging, second harmonic imaging) as well as commercial availability of an intravenous signal enhancer (contrast agent) have additionally improved results of this technique.
